There is no Accounting major for the UCs. It’s really hard to change into Business Administration at UCI, if that’s what you’re thinking of doing. They only accept around 10 change of majors a year - and that’s not until the end of your sophomore year. If you think you can maintain the GPA to get accepted as a transfer into berkeley, then you can probably get accepted as change of major into Bus Admin at UCI. However, you can major in Business Economics (or whatever other major) and minor in Accounting. There’s an application for that too, but if you have above a 3.7 / 3.8 GPA you will probably get accepted. You can’t add the minor until you meet the pre-reqs though - so probably your Sophomore year.

I’m not sure about USD though, after a quick google it seems like they have an actual Accountancy major. I couldn’t find information about what firms recruit there, but you might be better off there if that’s the major you want.

However, how you feel about each of the schools / its students affects things too.
