<p>For the UCSB Economics and Accounting TAG Requirement, it says you need to take Calculus 1 and 2</p>
<p>OR</p>
<p>Statistics and Calculus 1.</p>
<p>I already took STATISTICS, but my question is can I take Calculus 1 for Business and Social Sciences and would that complete the requirement??? Or do I have to take the regular Calculus 1?</p>
<p>Please answer because if I can do Calculus 1 for Business And Social Sciences instead of Calculus 1 that would be much easier for me!!!</p>
<p>Ya just look on assist to find out. I took Business Calculus a couple semesters ago and it was fairly simple! Got an A woooo. Anyways, when I put my school and ucsb on the assist page, it said that I could take calc 1 + calc 2 OR take Business Calc. So i definitely went with the business calc track.</p>
<p>Yes, you can take the calc for business class as long as you also take stats (which you did). BTW this is the last year they are allowing this. For fall 2015 all econ students are going to have to take the calc 1A and 1B path.
I also tagged UCSB for econ :)</p>
<p>Well, at my school pre calc isn’t a prerequisite for business calculus. But it would be reflected in your UC GPA so if the D were to drop your GPA below a 3.2 then yes your TAG would be nullified.</p>
<p>Yes you can take business calc, just to be clear though you will need to complete both bus. calc 1 and 2 and stats to get into the full major at UCSB.</p>
<p>So andrew what you are saying is that when you get to UCSB you have to take a calc 2 class there (if you did business calc) to get into full econ major?</p>
<p>Yes, if you only took 1 stats class and 1 calc class at CC then you have to finish the second calc class at UCSB to get into the full major. You also have to take PSTAT 109 at UCSB once you transfer over even if you took stats at CC, this is a new requirement. </p>
<p>I just transferred to UCSB as an Econ & accounting major. You guys should be warned though, the Econ major is super competitive, less than half of the CC transfers will actually get into the full major. Your ability to get into the full major will be dependent on your grades in Econ 10A and PSTAT 109. The lower division Econ classes are curved in a way that only the top 30% will get an A or B. </p>
<p>Accounting is also very competitive at UCSB and transfer students unfortunately are at a huge disadvantage for obtaining an internship compared to freshman admits because our CC GPA is almost meaningless to the accounting firms. You start recruitment literally 2-3 weeks into the fall quarter so on top of Econ 10A and PSTAT 109, you have to worry about perfecting your resume, writing cover letters and thank you notes, etc.</p>
<p>I thought Econ 10A was the only class we needed to be considered into the full Econ/Accounting Major? That’s what my UCSB Transfer Counselor told me, I am very close with her as I have been talking to her for months now via videochat.</p>
<p>Yeah, I thought the same thing as Tony. Especially since my assist says “Completion of two calculus courses OR completion of one calculus course
plus one statistics course is required for admission into this major.”</p>
<p>Andrew, are the upper division courses generally curved more leniently?
Also, in your first semester when you take econ 10A and are still pre-econ, you can still take the upper division econ classes that semester right?</p>
<p>PSTAT 109 is a new requirement, look on Assist. In order to get into the full major you will need to complete Econ 10A, Business Calc 1&2 (or regular Calc 1&2), Microecon, Macroecon and PSTAT109. You also have to take financial and managerial accounting if you’re an Econ & Accounting major. If you’re missing any of these classes you will not be able to declare the major. I don’t think a D will automatically disqualify you for TAG as long as you meet all the requirements. </p>
<p>@MAXsays, Yes. I have been told by everyone that 10A is the toughest econ class and that everything else later is easier. 10A is the foundation to the rest of your upper div. econ courses. The way the class is curved its very easy to get a C (2.0) and very difficult to fail (you can repeat a failed class) while the GPA requirement is 2.85.</p>
<p>It may disqualify you but only if you also do poorly in your other classes. The UCSB TAG says</p>
<p>“The following GPA requirements apply for the College of Letters and Science TAG. Applicants must:
Earn an overall minimum 3.20 GPA in all UC transferable course work by the end of fall 2013;
Earn a minimum 2.0 GPA in all UC transferable course work in fall 2013 term;
Maintain a minimum overall 3.20 GPA through the end of spring 2014;
Earn a minimum 2.0 GPA in all UC transferable course work in spring 2014 term.”

<p>So as long as your GPA doesn’t fall below a 2.0 for the current semester you should be fine.</p>
