<p>Amazing:</p>
<p>How does this schedule sound for my first semester:</p>
<p>Math 32A: Calculus of Several Variables
Econ 11: Microeconomic Theory
Econ 41: Statistics for Economists</p>
<p>How do you feel about Econ 11 and Econ 41 in the same semester? Is Econ 41 as competitive as Econ 11?</p>

<p>How do you feel about Econ 11 and Econ 41 in the same semester? Is Econ 41 as competitive as Econ 11? "</p>
<p>So I’m assuming that you’re doing Math/Econ right? Yeah that’s what most would do. And once you pass your classes the first quarter, you would already qualify for the straight Econ major (2.5+ in pre reqs, no C-) if you decide later on that you don’t want to do math for any reason. Just knocking off the math pre reqs and intro to programming after that.</p>
<p>Econ 11 and 41 in the same semester is completely fine. The classes aren’t related at all so you can do them concurrently. Econ 41 is actually just a name. It’s really just an Intro to Stats class with a few econ related topics thrown in. Proof? Your textbook is an Intro to Statistics textbook haha. Shouldn’t have a problem with 41 as long as you do your work. Econ 11 is more competitive.</p>
<p>Is econ 41 calculus based? I am actually taking an intro to stats class right now. I wonder if it covers the same stuff. The class doesn’t articulate on assist though. We covererd basic probability and counting, distributions, confidence intervals, hypothesis testing, and eventually we will cover regressions. Its really easy.</p>

<p>Calc in Econ 41? NO. It’s a straight intro to stats class. Does it cover the stuff? Yes it covers exactly that. If you are taking the class right now, I highly recommend you remember EVERYTHING you listed. Because it is all in Econ 41 and you will already be head of the game. And also anyone who has taken AP Statistics. They just throw in a few econ related subjects and call it an Econ class.</p>
<p>that is a relief that econ 41 is the same as the class I am taking now. I wish my class articulated. However, it will be nice to be able to concentrate on econ 11.</p>
<p>Hi, I just wanted to first thank you for all your valuable information. I have a similar question as the last few posts, what should I do for my schedule? What I had in mind was…
Econ 41, Econ 11, the management class that transfers take.
However, I need 15 quarter units. Any suggestions for a final class?
Also, I’m Biz Econ.</p>
<p>amazing- can transfers take the summer session, if so do you think it would be a good idea to take the first required econ class required to get into biz econ in the summer? because you said that it is so competitive i wonder if taking it in the summer would beat out a lot of the competition.</p>
<p>amazing, do you recommend someone to take summer classes? If you had to choose which one’s what do you suggest, some that don’t stress out and one can get a good grade? or it’s better to take a long break from CC, and start off fresh in the fall? Can rustiness happen and if so, what are some ways that one can remain academically active? Is there such a thing as an economics minor or just accounting? Have you ever met any non bus econ and non econ majors taking upper division econ classes just for fun get the feel for it? For instance, what are the pros and cons in your opinion of taking them if they aren’t for your major? Is there any chances of opportunity within the department if your interested beyond graduation, any job or internship chances or it’s only exclusively for econ and bus econ majors?</p>
<p>“However, I need 15 quarter units. Any suggestions for a final class?

<p>I really recommend you only do 3 classes your first quarter (12-13 units). Adjusting from semester to quarter system is the first thing most transfers complain about. It doesn’t sound all that different but it really is a lot faster.</p>
<p>I also don’t know why it’s not listed on the school website, but transfer students aren’t held to ECP. [Expected</a> Progress](<a href=“http://www.ugeducation.ucla.edu/counseling/regulations/exprog.htm]Expected”>http://www.ugeducation.ucla.edu/counseling/regulations/exprog.htm) Basically where you need to to be progressing at a certain rate at certain quarterly checks. The counselor told me this and I’ve had no problems with it on my schedule so far. If you don’t want to take my word for it just call and ask. So yeah, don’t worry about the 15 units/per quarter.</p>
<p>“Summer Session”</p>
<p>Yes, transfers can take summer. This is just entirely up to you if you want to take summer or not. I’m going to be doing this summer because I can get my upper div econ classes easily (econ classes fill up quickly during the school year due to impact).</p>
<p>Pros:
<p>Obviously the pros outweigh the cons. However, in my personal choice I consider the intangibles. I didn’t do summer school before last fall. I mean, I just got done through a very anxious process trying to get admitted to UCLA. I spent summer relaxing and celebrating. I took a one month trip with my friends to Taiwan and had a ****ing great time.</p>
<p>“Is there such a thing as an economics minor or just accounting?”</p>
<p>No just accounting.</p>
<p>“Have you ever met any non bus econ and non econ majors taking upper division econ classes just for fun get the feel for it?”</p>
<p>I have a mechanical engineering friend who attends upper div econ lectures for fun/personal knowledge… however I would say he’s probably crazy. In most cases…</p>
<p>No. This is very rare. For one, most upper div econ requires you have taken Econ 11 and 101. If you are not an Econ major, 99% chance you don’t have those done. Also, even if they could… pro: you may learn something useful; con: you are taking a gpa risk for an elective you can easily find an A for (asian american studies for one… haha). However, there econ/business related classes you can find even at upper div level. I’m taking a Project Management and IT class right now (MGMT 180) that literally has no pre requisites. The class is still difficult, however I am learning a lot (part of the MBA school). I’m always on the lookout for business-related classes when they come up, just gotta look around really hard.</p>
<p>“Is there any chances of opportunity within the department if your interested beyond graduation, any job or internship chances or it’s only exclusively for econ and bus econ majors?”</p>
<p>You really can’t exclude majors per say, it’s just that it’s geared towards econ/bus econ majors and they usually say “preferred”. They have workshops/info sessions for business fields all the time and that’s open to everyone. But of course why would a film major attend a workshop on iBanking right? It’s just up to you to show what relevant qualifications you have to getting those jobs/internships (they also have resume-building workshops).</p>
<p>There’s really just so many resources out there when you know how to look/plan/research for it honestly. If say a history major complains that he can’t get a business-related job due to his major… I will ask: what relevant business courses have you taken with your electives? what workshops have you attended? what career/recruiter fairs have you attended? have you seeked relevant internships? how much time have you put into your resume? etc…</p>
<p>If the history major answers none to these questions… then obviously you are not restricted from the business field because of your major. You are restricting yourself because you don’t have the business-like mindset in the first place to pursue the path. If you want to be a lawyer you take the BAR exam. If you want to be a doctor you go to medical school. If you want to become a businessman… there is no clearly paved path for you (many successful businessmen do not even have college degrees… just check forbes… or how about Bill Gates?).</p>
<p>*Side Note for Today:
Don’t buy into too much hype about the difficulty of the Econ classes. Everyone’s experience will differ wildly depending on personal strengths/weaknesses and the approach your professor takes. Just good to know what you’re getting into that’s all…</p>
<p>Today was midterm review for my Econ 101 class. I have come to realize that this class has been very easy for me so far (I can do every problem). My friend is retaking the class with me because he had a C- the first time. It’s all relative. Come in and expect the reputation (econ is hard), but don’t be surprised if your experience is different. Don’t come back and be like “*** amazing i thought you said econ would be hard” haha. Don’t blame me, I didn’t make up the reputation. Maybe you might happen to be a natural economist haha.</p>
<p>are a lot of good econ professors gone when you register? How is the priority for transfers? are last on the pile and have to just stick with what lousy course or professor we get?</p>
<p>are econ majors recruited by companies when you reach senior year? or do econ majors usually look for internships if they want jobs?</p>
<p>do we have papers in econ or do we have mathematical problems? you mentioned something like econ majors don’t have 15 page papers like english majors? what is the work like?</p>
<p>i think i will get b’s in calc, will i get into econ with those grades?</p>
