<p>For a business/economics major, which is better UCSD, UC Irvine, or UC Davis? Thanks. Also, which is harder to get in?</p>
<p>UCSD is the hardest to get into and i do know that the econ majors and management science majors are fairly highly ranked (econometrics being the highest ranked), fairly well known, and of good quality. I dont know much UCI or UCD concerning their business programs; that may be an indication of something, maybe not. Someone who knows more about the programs at UCI and UCD should weigh in.</p>
<p>I am currently a senior in the economics program. (marshall college. c/0 2008). Id have to say that UCSD is highly regarded, and is starting to get its well-deserved recognition on a national scale. The grad program is currently a top-5 program. However, this is in regards to graduate school. As far as undergrad studies, conventional wisdom would assume that the research and knowledge of these highly renowned professors would trickle down to the undergrad program. This mostly holds true here. The only gripe I have are the T.A.s that are assigned to lead discussions and go over HW. They can tend to be ill-prepared for any questions, just relying on the answers that the profs have preordained for them (this is a problem for many universities tho). Like the person above me said, the econometrics courses (econ 100 series) are very very very rigorous. There is even an ECON tutor (who sets up a private business off campus and charges a fee) who has become so popular in helping out a large majority of the students. I currently have no info on UCI and USD. Hope this helps</p>
<p>The differences between all three schools is pretty minor. UCI, UCSD and UCD all have good econ departments.</p>
<p>However, UCI will be offering a BA in Business, starting in 2008.</p>
<p>As of now, Berkeley and Riverside are the only UC's that offer a BA in business. Because of high demand for this at UCI, I would expect competition to be fierce.</p>
