I am also looking into economics for both schools, I intend to transfer in 2016. I hope some people chime in but from the research I have done UCSB is harder at first because you enter as pre-econ and they have hard intro classes and a seminar class intended to weed people out, however once youre full on econ major it isn’t anymore difficult than UCD would be. as far as what school offers a better econ program it will depend on who you ask but it seems like there is a slight lean towards Davis but key word is slight. Visit both campuses and see which one you like better, personally I thought UCSB was a little “fratty” and “bro-ish” I liked the vibe at Davis a lot more, I will still apply but wont go unless I get a competitive financial aid package.
