I am taking economics because I want to take accounting class at UCLA. Economics is conceptual based and hard to grasp if you are not good with critical thinking.

I think economics is (so-far) a really fun major for those who enjoy problem solving, puzzles, and games.

it’s a good major but definitely impacted beacuse of the bell curve mandatory for the school

Economics at UCLA tends to be more analysis heavy, but allows you to explore both business and economics research. It is very important to develop your interests outside of courses as well.

The Business Economics major at UCLA is more similar to econ and accounting rather than business.

I think the lectures have to many students, which makes it difficult to get a better understanding of the concepts as lectures moved quick.

highly theoretical major. if you're interested in a business career (such as marketing, investment banking, etc.), this might not be the most practical major, but it is still good regardless if you're looking for employment in these fields!!! professors are fine, classes are large, but you can always find 1 on 1 help during office hours and discussion.
