Out of state and business, but if pick Risk Managment in Business School rather than Real Estate or Finance, could get in state tuition. Has anyone done that? How did it work out for you? Don’t want to take wrong classes just to get a lower rate, but yet end up 5 years instead of 4. That type of thing.
From the website: Students receive an ACM Certification for one specific major and concentration only. Any change of major and/or concentration after initial ACM approval will cause a loss of the ACM tuition reduction. If you make a change to your ACM major and/or concentration for the current semester you are in, you will owe back the ACM tuition credit received for that semester, and will not receive the ACM tuition credit for upcoming semesters. If you make a change to your ACM major and/or concentration for a future semester, you will not receive the ACM tuition credit for that future semester, or for any semester going forward.
Therefore, if you enter Risk Management you need to stay risk Management or you will lose the instate tuition rate. If you are coming in with a lot of AP credits, you may be able to manage a double major. Ask the Program Office how that will work out. Also, if you go over 16 credits you are likely going to have to pay the out of state prorated tuition rate. You will need to pull the course major data sheets off the internet and compare the course requirements. The first year will be core classes and you won’t have a problem. Your second year business classes may also overlap. But third year and beyond may be the challenge.
Ask yourself whether you are 100% committed to the major, or are able to absorb the difference in tuition if you change tthe major (SC is generous with aid to out of state students but that award is only made to entering Freshman)
@VAMom23 helpful, thank you!
