My son was admitted into Cal Poly Pomona but he doesn’t know what he is majoring in yet. We didn’t know under what major to apply so we applied under liberal studies and got in. How difficult will it be for him to transfer to another major? i am hoping that he will decide for something in engineering. Will it be nearly impossible?
At Freshman orientation, he should meet with his academic advisor and work them to determine which major(s) he might consider declaring and make sure he knows the requirements needed. Impacted majors will always be more difficult.
From CPP Website:
Undergraduate students declaring a major for the first time or changing from one degree program or degree option program to another must complete and submit an approved Petition to Change Major Curriculum. Students may not change from a declared major to undeclared major status. This form is available as an e-form for your convenience.
Academic advising appointments and/or change of major meetings may be required to ensure that students have the potential to succeed in the selected major. Students changing their major are subject to the major/minor requirements in effect at the time of the change.
With the exception of the impacted programs, changes of major will be considered for lower-division students in good standing (2.0 grade point average for all college-level work attempted; all Cal Poly Pomona work attempted, and all work attempted in the major core).
Impacted Majors
Both lower-division and upper-division students requesting a change of major to an impacted program must meet the supplemental requirements required for that major.
Below is a link for impacted majors and change of major requirements:
it wont be much of a challenge.
