https://www.econ.berkeley.edu/undergrad/prospective says that, for UCB economics, “Transfer students must have a minimum 3.0 in the prerequisite transfer courses, and a minimum 2.7 grade point average in prerequisite courses taken at Berkeley.” Also see https://www.econ.berkeley.edu/undergrad/prospective/transfer-students .
Note: B = 3.0, B- = 2.7.
Transfer students to UCB for economics typically have to take the following in their first semester after transfer:
- One of Economics 100A, 100B, 101A, 101B. The 100-series is the less-math version, while the 101-series is the more-math version. The A courses are intermediate microeconomics, while the B courses are intermediate macroeconomics. All require calculus; 101A requires multivariable calculus.
- A statistics course with a calculus prerequisite, such as Statistics 20, 21, 131A, 134, or *both* C8 *and* 88.
- Other courses to make a full time schedule and fulfill prerequisites for another major if not admitted to economics.
