<p>I am a transfer student into UCSD and i have no idea which major to pick really. </p>
<p>I dont know which econ situation is better.</p>
<p>Econ: managment sciences
Econ: international studies
Econ
Econ/Math</p>
<p>Or i was thinking of doing a double major in math and econ. </p>
<p>Any ideas?</p>
<p>Also what about UCLA or UCB which one has a better econ program?</p>
<p>its really up to you and what your interested in. thats like asking what should i have for breakfast... french toast or pancakes... its really up to you.</p>
<p>Ok let me rephrase. </p>
<p>Management sciences ... what is that exactly????????? i read their description, but what can you do with that.</p>
<p>International Studies seems somewhat not as prestigious or not as good as regular Econ, but i can be completly wrong, i dont know.</p>
<p>Regular econ is good and all but why does it only offer a BA and not a BS, based on what i understand a BS is technically better... but i dont even know if in the long run it matters.</p>
<p>The math/econ joint major is like obtaining to minors. Its a total of 14 classes (or 15) .. so basiclly 7 each. To minor in something in UCSD its 7 classes, 5 of which must be upper division. I looked over the classes and it really doesnt fully cover what i want econ to cover for me or what i want math to cover.</p>
<p>Double majoring in math and econ is good in theory but since i am coming in from a community college i must finish in 9 quarteres , i dont know if summer quarter counts also or not. But , 9 quarters would be really pushing it, since when i get there my first quarter will be undergrad because of Econ2, and Vector Calc.</p>
<p>hmmm... sorry i can't really help you. im in engineering.</p>
<p>and i also came from a cc and i don't have to finish in 9 quarters... why do you? also, the summer quarter doesn't count as an official quarter.</p>
<p>For a double major , i would have to finish in 9 quarters, thats what the UCSD website said.</p>
<p>Malishka, In general Management Science refers to a a broad range of quantitative fields associated with business - such as operations management, quality control etc. The bottom line is that it is a quantitative field, and not mainstream business management. Economics is conidered a social science and most universities offer a BA in Economics rather than a BS. Don't worry about whether the degree is a BA or BS, it does not really matter.</p>
<p>I thread a while ago was about that. "allangreenspan" said (the forum member) that a BA in Econ is worthless and that you need a BS or go for a Math degree. I was about to apply for UCB, UCLA and UCSD econ, but am seriously considering the Math/Econ program instead. It seems like the workload would be a lot more. I don't mind the extra Math courses, but is it really a lot more work than just a regular econ major?</p>
