UC Irvine to Offer New Business Major
- Share via
UC Irvine is creating a new major for undergraduate students interested in business, officials announced Friday.
The school’s economics department, with about 1,100 students, already the largest on campus, will begin offering degrees in business economics and quantitative economics this fall, said David Brownstone, department chairman.
Right now UCI students can only minor in business through a program in the university’s school of business, which is geared primarily toward MBAs.
The new economics majors are patterned after programs at UCLA and UC San Diego, Brownstone said.
