How does the transfer process work?
If you transfer from a California Community College: an Economics-ADT degree from a California Community College is a convenient pathway into Quantitative Economics at CSUSB
An AA in Business ADT can also easily transfer to Economics at CSUSB.
More information on the process can be found here: Associate Degree for Transfer. Many Economics-ADT programs at CCC's have you take Accounting classes as well, making our Applied Economics Concentration an excellent choice.
If your college does not offer an Economics-ADT degree, let us know; there are other ways to make your transfer process smooth.
