<p>I’m in the College of Engineering and I’m just thinking about taking classes like accounting, etc. for fun, not as a major.</p>
<p>Is this possible or is 10 a mandatory prereq for all those upper-divs? I really don’t want to deal with 10 because (1) the grading looks like a b***h, (2) the professor has terrible ratings, and (3) the class is so jam-packed and hard to get in (and because business is not my major, I’m not going to use my Phase 1 TB appt. to signup for a class that I don’t really have to take).</p>
<p>I dont think you need UGBA 10 as a prereq, well at least not taking it wont stop you from enrolling in whatever UGBA upper div you want to… You could take UGBA 10 P/NP… I knew a few engineers who did this…</p>
<p>UGBA10 isn’t a pre-req, as far as I understand, but in terms of using your Phase 1TB appt to sign up, you’re probably going to have to. I’m a PEIS major planning to take business classes, and I already know that I’ll have to sign up Phase I (esp. for upper divs like finance, accounting, etc) because I have zero priority and the classes fill up quickly. Look at the current enrollments for upper div BA classes; it’s depressing</p>
<p>I could take BA 10 P/NP, but I’m trying to avoid doing that in classes that look reasonably manageable. The material really doesn’t look that hard, but the class is curved…and 12.5% getting 4.0’s is not generous at all.</p>
<p>Say, if I’m around #100 on the waitlist right now for BA 10, do you think I’d have a shot at getting in? If not, I’ll take your word, skip this crap (probably self-study the BA 10 material as a precaution), and go for finance/accounting in the spring with my Phase I appointment.</p>
