Economics Majors Selection

College of Engineering

Office of Admissions Office of Admissions

§ One of the most prestigious and smallest schools of engineering at a major research university in the U.S. and amongst UC campuses § Very selective for transfer students seeking admission § Seeks to provide its students with a strong theoretical background plus opportunities for hands-on training and applied research needed to become leaders and innovators § 5 majors available: chemical, computer, electrical, and mechanical engineering, and computer science

§ Mathematical Sciences, B.S.

§

A degree for those who enjoy working with numbers and equations; a hands-on major which focuses on how to solve real-world mathematical quandaries, particularly those with applications to the physical sciences and engineering.

§ Mathematics, B.S.

§

Suitable if you wish to study the STUFF of mathematics. As opposed to a computational approach many are exposed to in lower division calculus classes, this degree dives well beyond the shallow waters of formulas and calculators into a world of mathematical theory.

§ Mathematics, B.A.

§

This major has two possible emphases, the Liberal Arts and High School Teaching. You may opt for this major, particularly the Liberal Arts track, if you are considering a double major. A degree in math shows employers that you have quantitative skills and that you can think logically to solve problems.

Office of Admissions

Selective Math Majors

Full Math Major Prep

§ Math 2A-B or 3A-B = Calculus 1 &2 § Math 4A-B = Linear Algebra and Differential Equations § Math 6A-B = Multivariable Calculus

*Not needed for Math BA, but recommended

§ Math 8 (only two articulations exist for this course, currently)

Office of Admissions

Mathematics Major Selection

§ Meet basic transfer selection criteria § Required major preparation for Mathematics B.A./B.S. and

Mathematical Sciences B.S. majors must be completed before transferring to UCSB:

§

First and second semester calculus

§

Required pre-major GPA of at least 2.75

§

No individual grade lower than ‘C’ in major prep

Office of Admissions

Overall Theme

§ The department is requiring two semesters of coursework at a

community college (or other institution) with letter grades of C or higher, and a 2.75 major prep GPA in those courses.

Office of Admissions

AP and IB Exams

§ AP and IB exams alone will not satisfy major prep screening since

the department wants to see two major prep college level courses on the academic record with letter grades

§ AP Calculus AB with 3 or higher = Math 3A § AP Calculus BC with 3 or higher = Math 3A and 3B § IB HL Math with 5 or higher = Math 3A and 3B § For the students partially or fully meeting the calculus

requirement via exam, they will still need to have two major preparation math courses with letter grade C or better and 2.75 major prep GPA

Office of Admissions

GPA Questions

• 1. Student took Calculus I and II and does not meet major prep

GPA - in this case we can use advanced major prep math courses in GPA to help them reach a 2.75

• 2. What if a student does not have a GPA due to passing AP

exams? – the student would need to take two major prep math courses to meet the GPA requirement

• 3. Can a student take a course for Pass/No Pass grading? – Only 1

Pass grade is okay, but the student would need to take two major prep math courses with a letter grade to meet the GPA requirement

Office of Admissions

Other Notes

§ Business calculus courses are NOT appropriate for the math

• major. A student must complete 3A if they have taken business

calculus.

§ Only two colleges have a current Math 8 articulation § Mt. San Antonio College § Santa Rosa Junior College § Advanced level courses (linear algebra, differential equations,

multivariable calculus) can be used to help a student reach the 2.75 major prep GPA, but they will not hurt a student as long as they meet the 2.75 major prep GPA with calculus I and calculus II.

§ Multivariable calculus is often called calculus III at the

community colleges

Office of Admissions

Selective Majors at UCSB

Biological Sciences: § 1 year general chemistry with labs § Complete general biology sequence with labs § Minimum pre-major GPA = 2.70 with no individual grade lower than ‘C’ Economics: § Macroeconomics § Microeconomics § 1st & 2nd semester calculus § Minimum pre-major GPA = 2.75 with no individual grade lower than ‘C’ Engineering: There are many required major preparation courses, which will vary depending on the program. Recommended major GPA = 3.6 and above Mathematics: beginning Fall 2019 § Calculus series with pre-major GPA of 2.75 and no individual grade lower than ‘C’

Evaluation Review

UC Transfer Basics

§ Complete the following 7-course pattern by the end of the spring term prior to fall enrollment at UC: § 2 transferable courses in English composition with a C* or higher; § 1 transferable course in mathematics with a C* or higher; § 4 transferable college courses chosen from at least two of the following subject areas with a C* or higher: § arts and humanities (UC-H) § social and behavioral sciences (UC-B) § physical and biological sciences (UC-S) § Complete at least 60 semester (90 quarter) units of UC-transferable credit § Earn at least a 2.4 GPA in UC-transferable courses (2.8 for nonresidents) § Complete required major preparation

*Pass grades are acceptable if they are equivalent to a C (2.0) or higher

Major Preparation

§ Required vs. Recommended § Encourage students to start early to get ahead on graduation requirements

Office of Admissions

CCC Evaluations: What we look for

§ Duplications § Limitations (PE/ESL/Math, etc) § Repeats § Sequencing (Chemistry, Math, and Language other than English are sequential) § Language of Instruction through 9th grade § Use Assist.org

Office of Admissions

Duplication

Office of Admissions

§ UC will not award credit for a repeat of the same course, if a C or better grade is earned –regardless of where it is taken § EXAMPLE:

§ A “C” in Music 100: Music Appreciation cannot be repeated with an “A” in

Music 1: Music Appreciation

Limitations

Office of Admissions

§ Two similar courses, each is transferable:

§ If a student takes both, UC will award credit for the course that most benefits the student (either through grades or units) § Common example: College Algebra and Precalculus

§ Two series of courses:

§ UC will award credit for only one series § Common example: General Physics and Physics for Engineering

§ Other common limitations: PE (4 semester/6 quarter units) and ESL (8 semester/12 quarter units) § NOTE: If courses are limited with each other, the total transferable units will be reduced

Language of Instruction (LOI)

Office of Admissions

Students who complete high school through ninth grade where the language of instruction was other than English:

§ Will not receive credit for lower division language courses or IB/AP exams in that language § May receive credit for courses focusing on the study of literature

CSU/CCC Evaluations: What we look for

Office of Admissions

§ Duplications between schools § Limitations (PE/ESL/Math, etc) § Repeats § Sequencing (Math, Chemistry, and language

• ther than English)

§ Language of Instruction through 9th grade § Upper division credit § Course transferability § UC-E and UC-M § Use assist.org

English composition (UC-E)

§ CCC Courses § Courses designated as UC-E on the UC transferable Course Agreement (Assist.org) § Non CCC English courses § Course must have a prerequisite of a course or examination and must be comparable to FIrst UC-E (prerequisite for first UC-E course) § Courses should required extensive practice in writing papers and require a significant amount of reading literature. § Courses should focus on expository writing and must be at least 3 semester or 4 quarter units

Office of Admissions

Mathematics (UC-M)

§ CCC Course § Courses designated as UC-M on the UC transferable course agreement § Non CCC Mathematics Courses § Employs the topics of advance algebra as found in courses such as college algebra, pre-calculus, or statistics § Course must have a prerequisite of Intermediate Algebra, and the prerequisite must be published in the schools catalog for the year the applicant took the course § Courses must be at least 3 semester or 4 quarter units and completed with a grade § NOTE: Courses such as “Math for Liberal Arts,” ”Math for Teachers,” ”Math Ideas” will not meet this area even though they may be transferable.

Office of Admissions

Lower division unit limitation

All units of lower division (freshman/sophomore level) coursework will be limited to a maximum of 70 semester/105 quarter units toward the UC degree, regardless of the type of institution the credit was earned (2 or 4 year). § Transferable units beyond this limit earn subject credit only. § AP, IB, and/or A-Level examination units are not included in the limitation § UC units are added to the maximum lower division transfer credit allowed

Office of Admissions

UC/CCC Evaluations: What we look for

Office of Admissions

§ Assist.org § Duplications between schools § Limitations (PE/ESL/Math, etc) § Repeats

§ UC courses with F grades: can be repeated at a CC, but the original UC grade stays in the GPA § UC courses with D and C- grades earned: cannot be repeated at a CC

§ Sequencing § Language of Instruction through 9th grade § UC Credit—all courses transfer and are added on top of units earned at other schools § UC GPA

The 7-course pattern for current/former UC students

Office of Admissions

§ Students are considered eligible at admission if they are current or former UC students. This means that the 7-course pattern is not required. § For selection, some UCs require the 7-course

• pattern. This means that many students will still

need to complete the pattern. At UCSB, we do not require the pattern for admission. § Note that in all cases, major prep and other selection criteria still apply.

Former UC student: GPA below a 2.0

Office of Admissions

Review the student’s overall UC GPA and last term UC GPA UC GPA below 2.0 (overall and last term)= UC bad standing Returning to the original UC: talk to that UC’s registrar Transferring to a different UC: talk to that UC’s Admissions office

College/University UC Transferable Sem Units Grade Points GPA UC Santa Cruz 25.3 47.86 1.88 Oxnard College 36.5 122.0 3.34 Cumulative Totals 61.8 169.86 2.74

Common Reasons for Denials

Office of Admissions

§ No response to email request (generally after multiple attempts) § UC-E or UC-M in progress in Spring with poor or no progression § Missing required Major Prep or Major Prep GPA is too low § Less than 60 semester/90 quarter units (sometimes due to duplication/limitations or non-transferable courses) § Using an AP exam passed with a 3 or higher for required major prep (the ONLY AP that satisfies major prep is AP Calc AB/BC) § Students leaving out international university/college course work

• r not providing transcripts when requested
