Switching into Biz Admin at UCI
Hi friends! My name is Claudia and I am a recent Business Admin grad :-) During my time in college, I worked as a Peer Academic Advisor (PAA) aka a student counselor where I gained a lot of insight on the change of major process at Merage and other business admin related stuff, so if you have any questions regarding how to switch in I gotchu!! BA is one of the most competitive majors to switch into and there’s really not much public information on what determines whether a student gets in or not. Grades/GPA is definitely a huge factor (since the application basically only asks for those things) but from the video, you can see it’s definitely possible to still switch in even if you don’t have an insanely high GPA. Thank you to my friendz Annette, Brandon, and Shirley for being part of my video :3

Do you have to apply to the Merage School as an incoming freshman in order to major in business administration from the Merage School?
Thank you:) this was very informative and helpful ❤
Great info, my son is trying to make a decision between UCI and UCDavis, very helpful and informative video. All the best for your future endeavours:)
thank you for this video!!! it's very helpful:)
I’m going to UCI fall 22 and I applied as business admin but got in undeclared. I was just wondering if you had any info or advice to what I should take or focus on for best chances of declaring business admin as my major. Thanks for the info!
as a student looking to potentially apply to transfer to uci this vid was pretty helpful! thanks :)
was it required to fill out all the lower division classes for business administration degree and all upper div? I'm transferring there in 2 years.
Thank you!:)
Thank you!
Thank you for making these videos I really appreciate it! I was recently admitted as a transfer student and watching your videos really help me understand more about UCI and the major itself. 🙃
Yay i'm glad I could help :)
Hi I love all your videos it’s very helpful. As I will be attending UCI fall of 2021 majoring in Business administration but I was wondering if you could do a video or interview someone who major in Business administration and got a minor if it was easier or hard. Please and thanks it would be very helpful if you could.
Hi! Was there a specific minor you were interested in? It’s typically not difficult to declare a minor but balancing it/getting the classes could be a struggle depending on which one it is :)
I got into uci as undeclared but I’m thinking of business administration and I’m honestly really scared that classes might be too hard for me any tips how to calm nerves, etc
Hi Chelsea I’m a 2nd year BA major. I had online classes last year 😑. The classes so far have been very easy. Only challenging one was accounting but it’s far from impossible to do well in.
@@manavpatel2591 thank you for answering makes me feel better right now my challenge is getting into the major
I think the first step should be to not have any expectations. Don't think it'll be too hard or easy ! Take the classes as you go and try to focus on right now. Also understand that talking to your professors is really helpful. Make sure to do all of your work as soon as you get it and practice practice practice. You are capable of anything and everything I hope you do well!!
I just got accepted into uci and I also want to major in major in business administration (I am still undecided) but I am very nervous on how challenging classes may be I feel like I might not be good enough. Mind telling me your experience with the classes ?
I got in less go
Loved the video, thanks!
Hello, I have a interview for msba. Can u suggest some tips?
Hello, I'm not going to UCI, but I am a Business Admin student (MIS concentration). My anxiety has been killing me in thoughts about how I'll fare in the course, I'm a poor performer in school, and I loathe math. So the tips about course pairings do come in handy. I will ask though, in its entirety how's the rigor of the program? I know it may be different between schools, but I feel some general info about what to expect would be a great help to what I'm about to get into.
Hi there! In my opinion, I really don't think the program was THAT bad. At least at UCI, the more math-heavy courses had a generous curve that helped most students pass and there was also a fair amount of upper division electives that were "easier" that helped cushion your GPA. For me, those easier courses were more Organizational Behavior type of classes but again it's different everywhere!
@@claudiuhvuu Thank you for replying, I’m nearing the start at my new school soon enough so your info is greatly appreciated. 😇
wHAT ABOUT call center admin, such as like 3cx with student loan defense center or Gov Doc Prep Bria Integration govdp.datacore.tel , or VICIdial with Medicare Advantage, Zoiper with finders.house, or Student Loan Enrollment Center on eag.ytel.com or studentloancoach.ytel.com or vps.ytel.com? Best regards, Silviu Cherloaba
Thank you for this video, it's so helpful. I'm a business econ major and I have more questions that I hope you could answer. Can I have your socials? instagram,emails, any preferred media.
I am admitted as a business Econ major too. Can I have your socials if you don’t mind if I ask you some questions?
👍👍👍👍
Thanks I really needed this

Hello, I recently came across your videos and found them extremely helpful! I am currently an undeclared freshman at UCI and was looking for a career in Social Media Marketing or Public Relations. I noticed that the only way to declare an emphasis in Marketing is to transfer into Business Administration. However, it is so competitive, nearly impossible, to transfer into that major. On the other hand, Business Economics is much easier to transfer into but the material taught is different and it's not even under the UCI business school. I was wondering if you have any advice on the transferring process; and if I'm unable to transfer into Business Admin, do you think being a Business Economics major will affect my chances of landing a career in marketing?
Vicki C. Hi there! I’m so happy you found my vids helpful :-) I actually have a video coming soon about switching into Bus Admin so be on the look out for that! But to answer your question, your major really doesn’t affect whether you can get into marketing or not. Most of the job opportunities for bus admin and bus econ are very similar- if not the same. However, what does matter is your real world experience (internships, personal projects, club experiences, etc) so as long as you can get those opportunities on your resume you should be able to get a career in marketing. I’d also recommend checking out clubs like Marketing Association on campus to get more insight in the field!
@@claudiuhvuu Thank you so much for responding to my question and clearing up my confusion! I have already applied to the MA and multiple internships :)
@@claudiuhvuu what are internships? I,m in high school btw but have to choose subjects I am gonna need so just looking out
This video really helped me, I'm trying to apply this fall and I'm still nervous/blind going into it. Thanks for explaining so much!
What are your thought of the business information management major? I'm currently doing cs and I realized how much I hate it lmao
Omar Zaifulizan BIM is a really good major if you’re trying to get into product management of tech consulting but is more CS than it is business. If you’re interested in working for a tech company but doing a business role, being a business major with an information systems emphasis is just as effective and less stressful imo.
@@claudiuhvuu how hard is it to get into bim or biz admin?
@@omarzaifulizan3064 I'm going to have a video coming soon discussing this!
I wonder if it’s hard to transfer from a JC with an AS-T in Business Admin....Is it still competitive? Ugh I wanna go to UCI so bad
Thank you so much for making this video🥺🙌🏼im a soon to be freshie at uci for business admin and you answered practically all the questions I was worried or curious about!! Your video definitely helped me feel much more prepared!
Aw I'm so happy this helped!! Thx for watching xoxo
Great content! I’m really interested in UCI’s business information management, do you know anything about this major?!
Gaby Carbonero yes! I know it’s a major between the business school and the computer science school but I would say it’s more computer science heavy as most of your lower division requirements are the CS classes. Was there anything you were wondering about specifically? :)
For someone transferring into UCI businesses admin from community college, would it be uncommon for students to finish their education on time (in 2 years?)
Hi! I never met a transfer who was unable to finish the bus admin program in their 2 years. From my understanding, administration gives you guys a lot of support to ensure you graduate on time.
Hi! I know business admin at UCI requires you to choose an emphasis, but does your emphasis say on your diploma? I heard it is important to specialize for business majors. If your emphasis doesn’t say on your diploma, do employers even care about it? Also how do you think about UCI undergrad business admin in the job market? Also, I think it’ll be great if you make a video with a person who changed their major to business admin at UCI and talk about their process of changing major!
블루치즈 블루치즈 Hi! Your emphasis actually doesn’t even appear on your diploma so I would say it doesn’t matter too much (it’s just more of a graduation requirement) however I will say that for some technical careers like accounting, employers do care that you’ve taken the necessary classes and emphasized in it bc there are specific class requirements to get your CPA (accounting certification). UCI is surrounded by many corporations that directly recruit out of the business school which make internships very accessible but it’s still a young program (less than 10 years old) with a growing alumni network so nationally, it may not be as well known. That’s a great idea thanks for the suggestion!! 😊
clauditv hey! Thanks for answering! I have another question! Some people say undergraduate in business is too surface level. What do you think? Do you think you learned a lot in business major that would help in the real world? Lastly, for all the internship opportunities you mentioned, is it provided for all the other majors as well?
블루치즈 I would say to get the most out of being a business major you have to do things outside the classroom. Most of my knowledge came from the jobs I worked and the working professionals I connected with outside of school. The major itself is very broad bc of the nature of business (esp at an undergraduate level) but there are a lot of opportunities for research, clubs, & internships that allow you to go deeper. To your 2nd question, it honestly depends on the major - the opportunities for something like engineering is vastly different than something like biology but I will argue that it is “easier” to find job opportunities for business students bc the demand is just higher.
Do companies recognize or accept UCI business students?
Do you think the degree is worth? Can it really help you to land a job?
Personally I think it is worth it. Merage has many resources to help you get an internship (job newsletter, career center, networking opportunities) but I will say that there are equally as many opportunities from LinkedIn and other external sources that can make you just as successful.
Hello! So I am a criminology, law and society major and I want to double major in business administration at UCI! I have completed some of my prerequisites at my community college for the major however I have no done them all yet. How hard would you say is it to get the double major/ major change
It is pretty competitive to pick up the business administration degree at UCI as the major is really impacted. I know they only accept ~10 current students to transfer into the program a year and the application is focused heavily on GPA rather than a personal statement but it’s not impossible to switch in!
How do you think conferences will work out given our current situation? Also do you feel UCI gives enough opportunities for internships?
I feel like the conferences would continue to "exist" but virtually though webinars and such. There are definitely opportunities at UCI especially bc we are surrounded by a lot of corporations but personally, the BEST opportunities for my career interests were the ones I sought out myself.
Seriously thank you so much for the video! It was very informative !!
Random Account thanks for watching ❤️!!
Thanks for sharing!! I also wanna know which prof and classes that you’re recommend!! I’m a transfer student this year and want to emphases in marketing!!
Margaretha Lee I’ll add it to the list thanks for watching :-)
Thanks for making these videos! I'm transferring to UCI as a BusAdmin major this fall so they have been super helpful! Can you make a video on which professors and classes you recommend taking for BusAdmin?
how did it go?
Do you know the process of how an undeclared student admitted to UCI who wants to switch to Business Admin works? I heard it is very impacted and difficult to get in
Preanne Dai I want to say they go through the same application process as every else but I do know the undeclared office really prioritizes getting people into majors, so that could help but I don’t actually know the logistics behind it.
i'm an incoming freshman at UCI, and I was wondering how easy it was to get internships? also, thank u for making this video! it was super helpful :)
jade wong Thanks for watching! I’ll probably make another video all about internships 😊
Are the study abroad programs for the business majors expensive?
Nicole Sanchez The price of programs is not necessarily based on what major you are but what country and length of program you do (semester vs summer long). I would recommend going to the Study Abroad Office on campus to learn more about it! I know Merage has a International Residential Program specifically for business majors that started 2 years ago where you get to go abroad for a week for around $2-3k but be sure to ask your counselor for any further details about it. :)
I just got into Business Admin as a transfer today! Nice timing for the video :) Thanks for making it!
hey man I am planning to transfer to uci's business admin program next year and I wanted to know if it was super hard for you so like basically did you have like 3.7 and above gpa and all that .
how hard is it to switch into the business admin major? from what i have heard, the program at uci is really impacted :/ thank you so much for the informative video btw! as an incoming freshman, the info about housing was super helpful ❤️
hopeless ramentic Hi! It is really competitive to switch into business administration I believe they only accept 3-4 new students per quarter. However, it’s not impossible! Just know that when applying to the major, there’s no personal statement or interview process, it’s strictly based on GPA and the grades you get in the required business classes to apply to the major. Also, there’s no limit to how many times you can apply. I know some people who end up getting in on their 3rd try! Good luck 😊
i got into UCI for Business Administration and wanted to know how challenging the major is at UCI and how easily you can register for classes each year. A friend of mine says it is very impacted. Could you give me your experience and opinion?
Manav Patel hi! I personally didn’t think it was too challenging. I felt like my work load was significantly less compared to other majors but I will say the calculus, finance, & accounting classes were pretty difficult. I also felt like business admin students have an easier time getting classes because our major is smaller so there’s less people fighting for spots but for someone who ISNT in the major, it would be difficult because they would have to wait for the major restriction to lift then fight for the classes. It is impacted to switch into business administration but since you’re already in the program, that shouldn’t be a problem for you. Sorry if that was confusing at all 😅
@@claudiuhvuu No its wasn't confusing. Thank you so much for the help!
