if you're planning on going to grad school (100% sure), go to cal state. from what i've heard, they prepare you for the working field. and honestly, undergrad teaches you $hit. get the most you can from undergrad, wherever that may be, and build up your resume and what not. just make sure you can back up some stuff by getting awesome grades. then you can go to a great grad school. this is coming from someone who came from one of the uc's (no, not riverside. )

Um I'm sure your CC has some type of honors program as well right, get into that that usually looks really good also some schools have programs set up with UCs like my school has a program with UCLA and I thinik something like 90% of people that were in the honors program wishing to goto UCLA and met all the requirements were accepted.

There's Business Economics if you meet certain GPA requirement (3.3 overall and 3.5 on ECON)

Economics B.A.
Business Economics B.A.
Economics/International Area Studies B.A.
Mathematics/Economics B.S.


Good idea to throw in the Accounting Minor and Computer specialization while you are at it.


Good old days ....

^ los angeles pierce college.. business admin, i believe, teaches you more of what is needed in the real business world.. just in case i dont want to pursue an mba, ill have some knowledge of business practices with the business admin degree. business economics is basically econ.. i think alot of people that dont know about this major assume its a typical business major just because it has business in the title, but its really not.

lol. most people here don't know what they're talking about -- no offense you guys.

I'm an RA right now in Saxon Suites at UCLA. Roughly 2/3rds of my residents are transfer students from CCs and some even CSUs. From what I hear, most of their GPAs are 3.5+. Some of them study harder than I do, and I've been here all four years.

Business Economics is better than regular economics, but in the end it really doesn't make a difference. As with most econ majors, you should try to get a job and network before you even graduate. One of my good friends was a business economics major up until last quarter. He already arranged a job after he graduates, so he just decided to take two less classes and graduate as econ.

Business economics is also kind of hard to get in and to stay in. It's not competitive, but the requirements are kind of strict.

PM me if you have any questions. =)

Oh, btw, his job is finance, even though he's an econ major.
