<p>Or did i ***** up? I remember talking to the economics advisors and they said 101b or 100b is fine in order to declare. but the college of letters and science website says either Economics 100A* or 100B* or 101A*.</p>
<p>same for environmental economics...it pretty much says the same thing.</p>
<p>Did I mess up...i clearly remember the advisors saying that econ101b is fine...</p>
<p>crap, okay, i’m stressing out now.</p>
<p>can someone help me figure this out?</p>
<p>so far, i have taken math1a, math1b, and am taking stats 21 here and econ1 (at BCC). </p>
<p>Now, I am considering the econ, EEP, or applied math major.</p>
<p>For econ, as noted before, I have 1a,1b,and 21. I signed up for 101b next semester. </p>
<p>For EEP…i don’t think 101b is a prereq. Can someone confirm? I also am considering this…but what should I do? all the classes are filled =(</p>
<p>For math, I am taking 53 this semester. I plan on signing up for 54 next…and if econ or EEP doesn’t work out, 55 in the fall of junior year. </p>
<p>I can’t sign up for anything else in telebears. I already signed up for 101b and an r5b course…so that takes up 8 units. this 10.5 unit limit is annoying…</p>
<p>A few weeks ago, I took a few hours looking at the prereqs for EEP (and I also checked that the CNR and LS ones are the same). Looking back at what I wrote down, I have
-Math 1A/B, like you said
-Stats 21, like you said
-Econ C3 (or Econ 1 is also taken, I think)</p>
<p>-EEP 100, Econ 100A, OR Econ 101A
-EEP C101 OR EEP C102
-EEP C115 OR EEP C118</p>
<p>EDIT: Those are the core prereq’s (the top are lower div and the bottom are upper div). There are also 5 required Upper Div Electives you have to choose, but neither the CNR nor the LS specified which ones were available.</p>
<p>[Prospective</a> Majors](<a href=“http://www.econ.berkeley.edu/econ/ugrad/prospect_prerequisites.shtml]Prospective”>http://www.econ.berkeley.edu/econ/ugrad/prospect_prerequisites.shtml) lists one intermediate micro or macro economics course as a prerequisite to declaring the major:</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>EEP information is here: [Environmental</a> Economics and Policy](<a href=“http://nature.berkeley.edu/site/majors/eep.php]Environmental”>Environmental Economics and Policy | UC Berkeley Rausser College of Natural Resources)
Note that while intermediate microeconomics (EEP 100, Economics 100A, or Economics 101A) is required for the EEP major, intermediate macroeconomics is not.</p>
<p>Ok, so econ101b is fine in order to declare the econ major.</p>
<p>Now for EEP, i want this as a backup. What should I do? it says EEP 100, econ 100a, or 101a. </p>
<p>now, i also want to sign up for math 54 next semester. </p>
<p>so far, i have an r5b course, econ101b. that is it. and i plan on 54…so i should also probably take something from the EEP part too, right? which one do you recommend? I hope to god nothing conflicts…lol…</p>
<p>any advice? haha.</p>
<p>You can just try to take Economics 101A, since you will have finished Math 53 by then. Economics 101A can be used for either the Economics or EEP major.</p>
<p>So then your schedule could be:</p>
<p>Economics 101B
??? R5B
Economics 101A
Math 54</p>
<p>sadly, there is a huge waitlist =(</p>
<p>what about</p>
<p>econ101b
math54
r5b
and EEP 100, there are still a ton of seats left. hopefully, by the time my phase 2 rolls around, i can get in.</p>
<p>However, EEP 100 is not accepted for the regular economics major, and you probably want to take Economics 101A for your intermediate microeconomics course if you like math.</p>
<p>could i take econ101a at a later date? just take eep next semester…or do they not allow it? my main major is econ, but since 101a is full, i obviously won’t be able to take that</p>
<p>i understand that if i take 101a before EEP100, i will only get 2 units of credit for EEP. but what if it is the other way around?</p>
<p>berkeley is a bit tough, and i want to have some backups, which is why i’m considering EEP as a major too. </p>
<p>thanks for the help.</p>
<p>Since you are considering applied math as a major, perhaps you can use the fourth slot for Math 55 if you do not get into Economics 101A, so that you can declare applied math, which is not a capped major (unlike economics and EEP).</p>
<p>Indeed, applied math with some economics electives like 101A, 101B, 103, 136, 138, 141 may be fine for graduate school in economics or the more quantitative jobs and careers that economics majors may seek.</p>
<p>that would be a good idea…except math 55 conflicts with econ 101 b T.T</p>
<p>What is your eventual goal? I.e. would majoring in economics, EEP, or applied math be most suitable for it?</p>
<p>Ideally, you would take Economics 101A and Math 55 to be ready to declare any of the three majors.</p>
<p>Hi ucbalumnus, I didn’t see this post. I would like to major in economics. However, if I don’t meet the gpa requirement (minimum 3.0), EEP will be a backup. Applied math is my last resort, however. </p>
<p>Yes, I would do that, but I didn’t think this through properly/didn’t realize that 101b is not accepted for EEP. I would sign up for math 55, but it conflicts with 101b, which sucks.</p>
<p>not sure what to do at this point.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t recommend Applied Math as a backup major if you are worried about not making the gpa cutoff for Econ, which at 3.0 is fairly generous. Upper division math classes are nothing like lower division classes. I’ve taken a couple of upper div Math classes and I’ll be done with all the Econ major reqs/electives by this semester and from my experience, upperdiv Math is much, much harder than upperdiv Econ.</p>
<p>If you really want to major in Econ, just take Econ 100a/b. It’s much easier to get a good grade in these classes than their 101 counterparts. Unless you intend to go to grad school in Econ, in which case you should stick with 101a/b. But honestly, if you’re worried about making a 3.0, you should probably reconsider going to grad school in econ.</p>
<p>i’m not saying i’m worried. i’m just saying JUST IN CASE. lol. my grades are looking good so far.</p>
<p>and yeah, applied math is last resort. EEP is next up on the list.</p>
