which of those institution is a better fit me?

<p>After such complicated semester, I have changed my major, so I want to hear opinions from other people. I have decided to major in Finance or Econ.
I know for a fact that UCI doesn't have finance classes, so which lead me down to a fewer options.
how far off between 3 of those school UCB Finance vs USC finance vs UCR finance vs UCLA econ/business econ. I want to have a job in analyst, investment, and real estate. </p>

<p>obviously It's hard to get into neither of those except UCR, so what are my options?
Does it worth it to get whatever degree in a better reputation school? do I have a chance to work in a bank or analyst or even investment with a non finance degree? such as political science, art, history? ect..</p>

<p>Irvine does have classes in finance:</p>

<p><a href=“UCI General Catalogue Archives”>UCI General Catalogue Archives;

<p>You don’t have to major in Business or Econ to work in the field of Banking or Finance. Your work experience, college, and GPA are much more important in that regard. I would however recommend taking at least some classes related to business as preparation. You could minor in Accounting or Management while majoring in something else if you wanted.</p>

<p>If you think UCLA is a possibility, then UCSD and UCSB might also be good fits for you. UCSB and UCSD have both made national rankings for economics, and both (UCSD especially) are well-regarded overall. UCSB has a reputation as a party school, but there are a lot of people there and not all of them are partiers. Both of these schools also offer Transfer Admission Guarantees, which you might want to look into.</p>

<p>Try not to go off of what you have “heard” about certain schools. One guy told me that UCSB didn’t have much of an economics program, which couldn’t be farther from the truth. Do your own research.</p>

<p>la: those information are new to me, thank for opinion.
Mr: sadly I haven’t heard about ucsd or ucsb is a goal for finance major.</p>

<p>Mocafrappe: I’m honestly having trouble understanding your reply.</p>

<p>Ya, Irvine has a Business Administration major, along with Management and Accounting minors. UCSB has an Economics and Accounting major and Davis has a Managerial Economics (Economics and Accounting) and an Accounting minor. UCSD has a Managerial Economics major along with Business and Accounting minors. And of course all UC schools have Economics majors too.</p>
