I am going to be a freshman this year at BU. I’m currently in the College of Arts and Sciences as a psychology major. However, after doing a lot of research this summer, the field of biomedical engineering has caught my attention. I understand it is a very hard major but it is very interesting to me. Unfortunately, I’ve already registered for my classes this semester in CAS. Right now I am registered for 2 core curriculum classes (one humanities and one natural science), 3rd semester spanish, and biological psychology. I’m concerned because engineering has a lot of requirements and I don’t want to be behind. Which classes would I need to take to transfer? When is the earliest I could transfer? If anyone has any experience transfer into the college of engineering I would really appreciate your input. I’m a bit confused as to how the whole process works and whether or not its too late to change my classes this semester.
This will be an eensy bit off topic, but forgive me! As someone who has just recently discovered BME, you may not have researched it thoroughly yet. Make sure you check out the job prospects. It’s such a broad major that you get a little bit of everything and depth in nothing, so you’ll probably have to go to grad school to be competitive for jobs.
Contact the admissions office. BME is more selective than CAS. They may have to reevaluate your application. BME may already be at capacity.
Yeah just call admissions. It’s pretty simple to switch colleges actually. Whether or not you’ll stay in the program, is another story. There are some weed out requirements.
You’re gonna have to sign up for all of these ENG seminars and requirements. It might completely change your schedule.
