calc 2 is required just about everywhere for business or econ FYI.

UCI’s business major is competitive to get into FYI. If you want in it, plan on doing all of the courses for it. Econ, biz econ and quant econ are not that competitive to get into so you don’t have to worry a ton

UCSD’s econ program isn’t very heavily impacted so it should be relatively easy to get into as well. Management science is basically econ on steroids and is oriented towards determining how one should manage an operation.

sample schedule for the next 2 years for leaving options open

F2010
Trig, English 101A, Micro and Macroecon and History of Rock n Roll on my schedule.

S2011
Calc1, English2/philosophy(if offered as equivalent),

summer2011
accounting 1

F20111
calc2
accounting 2

S2012
calc3, statistics

summer 2012
linear alg

fill in from there with electives that fulfill IGETC. Basic electives would include a few easy science courses one of which has a lab a few sociology courses and a bit of a foreign language(going to the 2nd course in there is preferable) if you’re just doing regular econ, you could probably get away with not doing the math at the end, but remember you’ll need to do it eventually and it’s easier at a CC than at a uni. If you don’t want to do MS or Quant econ, don’t worry so much about calc3 or linear alg, you can do them at the UC(at least you can at UCI)
