Getting Started in Global Economics: Fall 2024 Transfers

🔙

Students are admitted to UC Santa Cruz with a "proposed major" in most cases, and later petition to officially declare the major. Admission does not guarantee acceptance into a particular major, although transfer students' records are screened for preparation for many majors at the time of admission. Junior transfer students must be formally declared by the deadline in their second quarter of enrollment.

Qualification requirements and/or prerequisites for the major:	If you listed this major on your UCSC admission application, your record has been screened for major preparation. Review transfer screening, getting started, and major qualification requirements in the General Catalog.
Transfer students who intend to pursue this major should do the following prior to the beginning of their first term…	Students who have taken college-level transferable classes that may apply to the requirements of this major should submit an unofficial transcript to the department prior to July 1. This transcript is in addition to the official transcript that is required by the UCSC Admissions Office.
...and should take these courses their first term:	ECON 100A: Intermediate Microeconomics (if math prerequisites are complete) Please refer to the email sent to you from the economics advisor(s) suggesting classes you should take in your first quarter here.
If unable to enroll in the courses listed above:	Contact the major advisor at (831) 459-5028 or (831) 459-2028 or econ_ugrad_coor@ucsc.edu.
Special enrollment procedures:	Enroll in classes during your online enrollment appointment time.
Although not required for the major, students in this major might benefit from:	We recommend taking ECON 10A and ECON 10B (accounting), if students have not already taken the equivalent courses elsewhere. We also recommend any course outside of our discipline either for specific interest, or to just experiment.
Other Information:	ECON 100A/M, 100B/N and 113 are much more difficult than ECON 1 & 2. Students should devise their academic plans to ensure they will not have to take more than one of ECON 100A/M, 100B/N, and 113 in the same term, since it is crucial that students pass these courses on the first attempt. Attend the fall department welcome.
