UCSB no longer offering Business Economics

<p>This is from Assist.org</p>

<p>"Beginning fall 2011 the UCSB Department of Economics will no longer offer
the Business Economics major. A new major, Economics and Accounting, will be<br>
offered starting in fall 2009. Prospective transfer students who have been<br>
preparing for the Business Economics major may continue their preparation if<br>
they plan to begin attending UCSB in fall 2010. Students who plan to transfer to
UCSB in fall 2011 or later should consider preparing for one of the other<br>
Economics majors. Students should start checking assist.org after August 1st for
the latest information on these changes to the Economics majors."</p>

<p>Do you guys think the new major "Economics and Accounting" will basically have the same exact pre-reqs as the former Business Econ with Accounting Emphasis major?</p>

<p>Why do you think they did this? </p>

<p>I really hope they still offer Business Calc as a pre-req 'cause I definitely don't want to jump through a bunch of hoops to take Calculus I and II to transfer. I'd much rather take Business Calc as it only requires Intermediate Algebra to enroll in at my CC.</p>

<p>Anyone wanna chime in at all? Any thoughts?</p>

<p>They still offer Mathematical Finance and a year of guaranteed housing so I’m still applying as a housing safety.</p>
