<p>I’m thinking of taking this if I go to UCLA, do they mind if you can’t take stuff like Discrete Math and C++ at CC?</p>
<p>Like, if you have all the other prereqs completed by the summer before you go.</p>
<p>Math/Econ is not a good option for graduate school. For math graduate school, go pure math. For econ graduate school, go pure econ! </p>
<p>However, Math/Econ is interdisciplinary major where you can learn both at the same time.</p>
<p>For accounting career path, math/econ is not good option, a much better one is to major in accounting but UCLA only has minor. However, it is very competitive to get into accounting minor @ UCLA, make sure you have couples of A or at least B in 2 begining and 1 intermidiate accounting courses first together with a 3.2+ GPA @ UCLA before you apply.</p>
<p>Pure econ at UCLA only required Math 31A and 31B, and that’s not going to prepare you for econ graduate school… so how can you go pure econ??</p>
<p>For graduate school, then you need to do more work, of course beside the pure econ requirements, you better off taking more math courses and those courses often count toward your elective units. Come on, you can always take extra courses outside your area as electives.</p>
<p>You can change your degree almost anytime. This major is offered by the college of L&S, so you can change instantly if you’re in L&S, otherwise you have to apply for the change.</p>
<p>Business economics is the official accounting degree, however the degree doesn’t even qualify you to become a CPA without the accounting minor. If you want to go into accounting, find out what the required coursework for the CPA professional certification are. </p>
<p>UCLA mathecon is commonly accepted as the best economics degree offered by the UC system, although UCLA math is notoriously difficult, so consider that before you make your decision. If you get the degree with a half-decent GPA you are well qualified for any accounting job at any company, provided you also complete the CPA requirements.</p>
<p>If you’re interested in econ grad school then Math/Econ is definitely the best way to go.</p>
<p>i have a friend whos brother is attending UCLA and he is in a math based actuarial major.</p>
<p>i cant recall the actual major in this but if you’re interested in accounting, that may be a option for you.</p>
<p>(he was a engineering/chem major before switching so it crossed over fairly nicely)</p>
<p>" For econ graduate school, go pure econ!"
you’ll need way more math than what a pure econ degree requires in order to do graduate work in economics.</p>
