<p>Making the switch from Poli Sci to Sociology is very simple. Just email the office of admissions and they will switch your major at any point from now until mid-summer. After that you would need to go through the department. Economics is a bit more complicated although it may be possible to switch after you transfer and complete certain required courses for that major with a certain GPA. I recommend that you contact UCSB Economics dept. for details on that process.</p>
