<p>Does anyone know in particular much about this major? I've heard that the Big 4 recruit heavily from UCSB. How does this major compare to the Business Economics major offered at UCLA? Thanks.</p>
<p>UCLA has a better program hands down. It is also MUCH harder to get into . It's more of a finance major so if you want a job at a big 4 (way to bust your ass for 50k/yr) then I would also suggest an accounting minor.</p>
<p>At around when does one usually become a CPA? Is it true that being a CPA makes one worth much more?</p>
<p>Oh and with the Business Economics major at UCLA, can one go into Investment banking? Can one simply minor in Accounting and major in anything else and still become an accountant?</p>
<p>Thank you.</p>
<p>Different states have different requirements for being able to sit for the CPA. CPA's are more rare so yes your worth will be higher.</p>
<p>With biz/econ, yes, you can go into ibanking if you choose. An accounting minor should be able to pull you an accounting job at a big 4 since they are going to retrain anyhow.</p>
<p>It sounds like you are unsure what you want to do yet so I would suggest you take your time, take classes related to your potential majors, and pick wisely :)</p>
