Economics Majors TAG Requirements

(Economics B.A., Economics and Accounting B.A.)

Requires overall transferable GPA of 3.40

Complete the following courses by the end of spring:

Students must have at least a 2.75 GPA in the courses below, with no grade less than a “C”.

Important Notes:

• Advanced Placement exams in macroeconomics and microeconomics may NOT be used to satisfy major preparation requirements.
• When submitting your UC application, you should select an economics major as your first choice major. If you would consider studying in an alternate field, consider selecting an alternate major outside of economics for the greatest opportunity for selection at UCSB. Students who are not admitted to economics may be admitted to an alternate major, but should expect to complete their degree in the major to which they were admitted.

There are additional courses not required for a TAG or for admission that must be completed to meet all lower division major preparation requirements. Students are initially admitted to the pre-major.
