UCSD: Management Science VS. UCI: BIZ ECON

<p>HI you guys...</p>

<p>i guess those 2schools are only up for me...</p>

<p>no ucsb,ucb and ucla... </p>

<p>starting to think which school i should go and end with no idea...</p>

<p>could you guys plz help me out i have know idea which school will be better and which major gonna be for my future...</p>

<p>any ideas ???</p>

<p>thanks u guys...</p>

<p>I think a degree from SD looks better on paper.... :/</p>

<p>yea I would go for management science.</p>

<p>Dont forget to add in the social aspect of the school.
UCSD is a lot worst socially but college is what you make of it.
I personally would rather go to UCI becuase the management science compared to UCI bus/econ, i dont feel is that huge of a difference, its not like your goin to berkeley haas.</p>

<p>Plus how you do in your job on the future also depends on yourself,
who you know in business, how well you interact with people,
and finding internships and work experience for yourself</p>

<p>irvine = close to broadcomm and other big tech companies, so that's something to consider for possible internships and whatnot. i'd also be a bit afraid of being marginalized as a non-sciences major @ sd</p>

<p>UCSD has all the pharmaceutical companies. I would say UCSD would most likely be the better choice but whatever school that you like the best I would choose that one.</p>

<p>Wait, its a BS is management "science". I thought about that too, but then I thought about how it sounds like a pretty cool degree.... just the name of it. And UCSD is very highly ranked in econ.
Maybe Im biased b/c that what Im transferring into.</p>

<p>UCSD really does have a great econ department. Their graduate econ program is ranked 10th in the nation according to US News. And UCLA was ranked 11th.</p>

<p>how would you rate their undergrad program??</p>

<p>It would be really hard to say because they don't really publish undergraduate program rankings.</p>

<p>I remember reading that same statistic Thedude44. But on that same note, Berkeley's grad econ program is 3rd in the nation, while UCLA's undergrad Econ / Busecon is more competitive to get into. Makes things a bit confusing.</p>

<p>Here are some more rankings for UCSD econ. I found them on this board actually.</p>

<p>NRC</a> Rankings in Each of 41 Areas</p>

<p>you have no idea. it's literally right across the street. lol</p>

<p>"UCSD has all the pharmaceutical companies. I would say UCSD would most likely be the better choice but whatever school that you like the best I would choose that one."</p>

<p>they do? one of my professors said that OC has the most. not sure if thats true, but i do know allergan is pretty close.</p>

<p>but still have no idea ^^;;;</p>

<p>i would go to UCSD still. management science is under the econ department of UCSD and UCSD has a stellar econ department. I know a person who majored in management science and now works for UBS. I would say Management science is a more diverse field than BizEcon. Just my opinion</p>

<p>Most of it depends what you do where you go, not where you go. A bare-bones economics major doesn't necessarily have all the skills of an economics major who can do statistics, program (in R D: ), and create models.</p>

<p>true i would agree</p>

<p>hey let me help you out, go to the websites of UCI econ and UCSD econ and check out the classes for yourself. THIS IS A F****ckin must!!
UCI econ is not hard to get into or hard I heard. UCSD mang. sci.
is hard which means its good, Im a UCSD econ major, not mang sci.
but mang. sci requires you to take 3 micro classes, 3 econometrics classes, and operations research classes, check around and youll see that this is the most complete man. sci program and compares to schools like MIT!!!
now go check out the schools.
The notion that UCI is socially better than UCSD is so BULL that makes me want to throw up so go choose for yourself</p>

<p>GET THE REAL FACT DUDE< not some idiots here who want to tell you they would personally choose this school over that cuz " like IMGosh they have better part atmosph. F**K that, go C the school, you like UCI better? then go there, I should be fair and say that UCI is an economically more diverse and business environment thatn UCSD, thats for sure, easier to probably get internships in business than in SD.
Also im from Irvine and I go to UCSD, so I sorta know what im talking about</p>

<p>im probably going to transfer to san diego in the fall. i was accepted as an econ major. do any of you know if i could double major econ + management sci?</p>

<p>Management science is Econ.... Plus more. So no reason to double. Ive heard it referred to as an econ degree on steroids.</p>
