<p>Hey I am (hopefully) attending University of South Carolina next year. I am from Maryland and I am transferring from my community college this upcoming fall semester. My major is hospitality management. According to ACM I can get instate tuition as long as I major in one of the majors offered. The one that closely relates to hospitality management is Sports Entertainment. I have looked up lots of information about ACM and you are allowed to double major and still receive in state tuition. So basically my question is why dont more people do this? Technically you could just double major (one major your actual major, and the other one that is apart of ACM) and just drop the major that is part of ACM your last semester. You would basically be paying in state tuition for all of your classes, except the last semester. Anybody know someone that has done this before? </p>
<p>Doesn’t University of South Carolina have a huge Hospitality Program? They used to! </p>
<p>Also check YOU ACM regs carefully. Most say that you get the ACM rate IF the major isn’t offered anywhere at a public university in YOUR state. Is it true that no public university in MD has hospitality management?</p>
<p>And lastly, the sports related majors at South Carolina are very competitive.</p>
<p>thanks for replying thumper. I think you misinterpreted my question. I was trying to say that hospitality is offered in Maryland, while Sports Entertainment is not. Therefore I could double major in hospitality and sports entertainment at South Carolina and receive in state tuition. And I have already been accepted into both programs :).</p>

Why would you ever want to drop a major when you have almost completed it?
From the ACM FAQ’s:
Even if your school is one of the “most” now, it could change its policy while you are attending. This seems like a risky plan, to say nothing of the fact that it’s unethical to enter a ACM program knowing in advance you will drop the major, but I guess that’s between you and your conscience. </p>
