Pre-Major / Major Requirements
The pre-major GPA’s in the Economics Department are calculated on the basis of grades earned in economics and accounting taken at a University of California. Grades in the math, statistics, and writing courses must be a "C" or higher and are not used in computation of the pre-major GPA. Students must maintain a continuous 2.00 GPA in all major courses (preparation and upper-division) while attending the University of California. At its discretion, the department may discontinue students from the major who do not maintain the continuous 2.00 GPA in all pre-major and upper-division major courses. No course in the department may be taken on a P/NP basis.
