<p>I’m not a current UCLA econ major, but I’d like to say that I’m an admitted student who’s also interested in majoring in Econ. This is the second time I’ve heard that one can graduate in only 3 years as an Econ major at UCLA . . . </p>
<p>Personally, I don’t place a high weight on rankings, but here are some if you’re interested:</p>
