UCI Business Information Management and GPA

[MHyde]

<p>Anyone have a rough idea of what gpa you would need to transfer under this major? If you are aware of the gpa required for UCI’s business administration major as well I would appreciate that as well. Thanks</p>

<p>Anyone have any ideas?</p>

<p>if you look at the website, for that major they’ll take around 15 people literally thats what the website says</p>

<p>That is for the business administration major. </p>

<p>Business Information Management is actually a interdisciplinary program offered between the Donald Bren School of Information and Computer Sciences and The Paul Merage School of Business. </p>

<p>On the UCI catalogue is says ([Interdisciplinary</a> Studies](<a href=“UCI General Catalogue Archives”>UCI General Catalogue Archives))</p>

<p>

Transfer Applicants: Junior-level applicants who satisfactorily complete the following requirements will be given preference for admission:</p>

<ol>
<li><p>One year of discrete mathematics if available; if not, first year-calculus.</p></li>
<li><p>Completion of one year of UC-transferable computer science courses, including at least one course involving the concepts of object-oriented programming (e.g., in Java) or functional programming (e.g., in Scheme). Additional courses beyond the two courses required for admission are strongly recommended, particularly courses that focus on topics such as data structures, algorithms software design, software engineering, human-computer interaction, and programming language concepts, if such courses are available. It is strongly recommended that transfer students enter UCI with knowledge of Java since it is used in many of the required courses.</p></li>
<li><p>Completion of courses equivalent to Economics 20A-B and Management 30A, 30B.</p></li>
</ol>

<p>Students who transfer to UCI in need of completing any part of this sequence may find that it will take longer than two years to complete their degree.

<p>If you want to get in this program it is also apart of the TAG program
([UC</a> Irvine Transfer Admission Guarantee (TAG) Fall 2009](<a href=“http://www.admissions.uci.edu/admissions_info/transfer_admission/tag.html]UC”>http://www.admissions.uci.edu/admissions_info/transfer_admission/tag.html))

<p>I am planning on attending law school but I would like a major that I can fallback on if needed. Do you guys think that a business economics degree would be more suitable for this? Oh, and I understand the concept of doing a major that you are interested in as it will make you preform better.</p>
