<p>I am an international student and am looking for some clarity in the process of changing majors.</p>

<p>I got accepted to the School of Letters, Arts and Sciences for an Economics Major.
However, this was my second choice after Business at Marshall School of Business.</p>

<p>If I decide to enroll, can you change majors?
Can you change majors from one school to another within USC?</p>

<p>At what point of time can you do this, and how likely is to move from Economics to Business at Marshall.</p>

<p>Will there be any conditions, such as a minimum maintained GPA, or something like that?</p>

<p>Please let me know, if there is a good chance of changing to Marshall.</p>

<p>Thanx</p>

<p>Yes you can change majors. I believe that it is done after the first year or after two semesters. Get good grades in all your classes. Take a few introductory classes in your desired major (these are open to all). Get good grades and meet your professor for added support, if necessary.</p>
