Back up Major

<p>I’ve been following the IGETC path and taking courses towards UCLA’s Business Economics major; however, since I can’t apply for Econ or International Relations as my back up, I want to apply for another major as my back up–yet I have not taken courses that go towards that major. Is having a back up major THAT big of a deal? Is not taking courses for it a big problem? I’d really like to go to UCLA, but it is a big factor if I don’t get into my intended major.</p>

<p>if you are tap certified, you should put your alternative major as math/econ. high acceptance rate and similar pre-req’s as business econ.</p>

I wouldn’t recommend this unless you are certain you think you can switch once you get in. If you don’t like math you are going to suck. It has a 7 UD math classes, and some of them are very “proofy”. Additionally, the degree requires math-based econ classes for the most part.</p>
