<p>there are so many different colleges at UCSD. i’m thinking of earl warren. isn’t that the one where it makes you take one major and something that is completely outside of your major as graduation requirements? which college is good for those who are not really sure what they want to do in life?</p>
<p>also, i know that ucsd is renoun for their bio-med programs… but how are the psychology or business programs at ucsd for undergrads?</p>
<p>I didn’t take the whole college picking very seriously, which might have been bad on my part. Honestly, I did inny-minny-miney-moe, and wond up in Revelle. All the GE’s aside, they are the science college, and I am a science major, so luckily I won;t have to deal with all the damn jounalism majors who don’t know what pain is (Just kidding. Well, sorta.)</p>
<p>I too did the random choice. I didn’t really know what i was applying into, i just picked what felt right. I ended up picking Marshall. I got in. Who knows if it helped me at all that I picked Marshall, and happen to be from berkeley.</p>
<p>UCSD doesn’t even have a business major.</p>
<p>Muir and Warren have the fewests GEs.</p>
<p>Below is a good amount of information on your options for if you are interested in more ‘business’-like majors. There is no Business Major, but these have equal if not more weight with Grad Schools anyhow. </p>
<p>Just as an aside, UCSDs Economics Department is highly regarded too.</p>

<p>The Economics Major (B.A.)</p>
<p>The economics B.A. program is designed to provide a broad understanding of resource- allocation and income-determination mechanisms. Both the development of the tools of economic analysis and their application to contemporary problems and public policy are stressed.</p>
<p>A student majoring in economics must meet the following requirements:</p>
<ol>
<li>Calculus. Mathematics 10A-B-C or Mathematics 20A-B and 20C/21C.</li>
<li>Lower-division economics. Economics 1-2-3.</li>
<li>Upper-division core. Economics 100A-B (microeconomics), Economics 110A-B (macroeconomics), and Economics 120A-B-C (econometrics).</li>
<li>Upper-division electives. Five more economics courses at the upper-division level.</li>
</ol>
<p>Majors are strongly encouraged to complete the lower-division requirements (1 and 2) before beginning the upper-division requirements (3 and 4). Further, majors are strongly encouraged to take Economics 100A-B and either 110A-B or 120A-B-C prior to the senior year, since numerous upper-division electives have core-course prerequisites.</p>
<p>The following schedule, though not the only possibility, is a well-constructed one for majoring in economics.</p>
<p>FRESHMAN YEAR
Economics 1-2-3
Mathematics 10A-B-C or
Mathematics 20A-B and 20C/21C</p>
<p>SOPHOMORE YEAR
Economics 100A-B
Economics 120A-B-C</p>
<p>JUNIOR YEAR
Economics 110A-B
Economics Electives</p>
<p>SENIOR YEAR
Remaining Economics Electives</p>
<p>A detailed description of the economics major is contained in the Undergraduate Handbook, available in the Undergraduate Program section of the department Web site.</p>
<p>The Management Science Major (B.Sc.)</p>
<p>Management science builds on a set of related quantitative methods commonly used to solve problems arising in the private (business and finance) and public (government) sectors. While students will gain some familiarity with the traditional functional fields of business management, this program is more tightly focused and more quantitative than a traditional business administration major. It is not, however, a program in applied mathematics or operational research, since the economic interpretation and application of the tools are continually stressed. Rather, it is a quantitative major in applied economics with a management focus. Before beginning upper- division work, a major must complete Economics 1-2-3, Mathematics 20A-B and 20C/21C, and Mathematics 20F. These courses provide both the understanding of basic principles and the mathematical maturity needed to understand the quantitative techniques of management science.</p>
<p>The management science major requires a total of 15 upper-division courses. Nine of these are specified: Economics 170A-B (Management Science Microeconomics), Economics 120A-B-C (Econometrics), Economics 171 (Decisions Under Uncertainty), and Economics 172A-B-C (Introduction to Operations Research). The 170 sequence concerns the nature and interdependence of managerial resource allocation decisions. Economics 120A-B-C teaches the theory and use of statistics and econometrics. The 172 sequence provides a general survey of optimization and problem-solving techniques employed by management scientists.</p>
<p>Of the six management science electives, three from the following restricted list must be taken: Economics 109 (Game Theory), Economics 121 (Applied Econometrics), Economics 125 (Economics of Population Growth), Economics 173 (Corporate Finance), Economics 174 (Insurance, Economics, and Finance), Economics 175 (Financial Investments), Economics 176 (Marketing), Economics 178 (Economic and Business Forecasting), or Economics 179 (Decisions in the Public Sector). At least one restricted elective must be either Economics 173 or 175. Each of these courses focuses on an important set of managerial problems. The remaining three electives may be chosen from among other upper-division economics courses… Each of these courses focuses on an important set of managerial problems. The remaining three electives may be chosen from among other upper-division economics courses.</p>

<p>Joint Major in Mathematics and Economics (B.A.)</p>
<p>Majors in mathematics and the natural sciences often feel the need for a more formal introduction to issues involving business applications of science and mathematics. Extending their studies into economics provides this application and can provide a bridge to successful careers or advanced study. Majors in economics generally recognize the importance of mathematics to their discipline. Undergraduate students who plan to pursue doctoral study in economics or business need the more advanced mathematics training prescribed in this major.</p>
<p>This major is considered to be excellent preparation for Ph.D. study in economics and business administration, as well as for graduate studies for professional management degrees, including the MBA. The major provides a formal framework making it easier to combine study in the two fields.</p>
<p>Course requirements of the Joint Major in Mathematics and Economics consist principally of the required courses of the mathematics major and the economics/management science majors:</p>
<p>Lower-Division Requirements:</p>
<ol>
<li>Calculus and Linear Algebra. Mathematics 20A-B, 20C/21C, 20D, and 20F</li>
<li>Introductory Economics. Economics 1-2-3</li>
</ol>
<p>Upper-Division Requirements:</p>
<p>Fifteen upper-division courses in mathematics and economics, with a minimum of seven courses in each department, chosen from the courses listed below (prerequisites are strictly enforced):</p>

</ol>
<p>Other courses which are strongly recommended are: Mathematics 130B, 131, 181B, 190, and 193A-B and Economics 109, 113,175, and 178.</p>
