Violamom,

UCLA has an excellent East Asian Languages program, and Mandarin is of course no exception. Econ is good, and there are opportunities for finance, but they are not going to be as exceptional as you might find at, say, Marshall. The biz-econ major is there, but it's hard to get into. Nonetheless, if he's interested in doing both econ/finance and Mandarin, it's clearly the best place to do it in Los Angeles.

I must warn, however, that he would be awfully busy if he were also an athlete. Not impossibly so, but still fairly busy.
