3) is there a program similar to cal's EECS? i want both hardware and software
4) is it hard to change from CS&E to EE? i sorta just alternated btwn CS and EE for all the UC's, not sure which one i'd rather do yet (wanted to do both but i guess they don't allow it)
1. UCLA doesn't offer an undergraduate business major... As I already mentioned, though, Economics/Business Economics is possible, though improbable.

2. Computer Science and Engineering has additional Electrical Engineering/Computer Engineering requirements (e.g. EE 10: Circuit Analysis I) and fewer Computer Science requirements (e.g. CS 161: Fundamentals of Artificial Intelligence) than straight Computer Science. Also, CS majors have to choose a "technical support group" consisting of a field of specialization in a separate department at UCLA, whereas CSE majors aren't required.

3. The closest engineering undergraduate program UCLA offers to EECS is EECE (Electrical Engineering - Computer Engineering option).

4. It is very hard to change from CS&E to EE or vice versa... Last time I checked, the Office of Academic and Student Affairs doesn't give special preference to major-transfer applicants who are already engineering majors.
