<p>I know that other colleges allow people to change their majors during the summer at orientation before classes start. Is this the same at USC?</p>
<p>I am a Spring Admit (and hopefully moved to Fall), so can I change my major before I start? Like... going from School of Policy, Planning, and Development to Marshall.</p>
<p>At USC, it is easy to change majors within the College of Liberal Arts (CLAS). However, USC’s other Schools have their own admissions requirements and trying to apply to those schools from within means you’ll need to satisfy their requirements and apply. For Marshall, you will have to take several courses at USC before you can ask to transfer. Of course, you can call the Marshall office of admissions to confirm this applies to you. The following info comes from the USC Marshall website:</p>
<p>Prerequisites for Admission to the Marshall School of Business for Current USC or Transfer Students:</p>
<p>Undergraduate Marshall School of Business Admission Office: 213-740-8885, BRI 105</p>
<p>Admission includes successful completion (at least B’s or better) of the following prerequisites or their equivalents:</p>
<pre><code>WRIT 140 Writing and Critical Issues (4)
ECON 203 Principles of Microeconomics (4)
ECON 205 Principles of Macroeconomics (4)
MATH 118 Fundamental Principles of Calculus (4)
MATH 218 Probability for Business (4)
</code></pre>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>I’ve heard USC is asking incoming freshmen to wait for one semester before applying for internal transfer.</p>
<p>I called a couple of weeks ago and they said you can change majors when registering for classes.</p>
<p>I guess someone on facebook been telling people the wrong thing then. Thanks for the clarification.</p>
<p>ipod, is that for changing majors within CLAS? OP wants to switch to Marshall and requires a number of classes first. I think. :)</p>
<p>Also, incoming freshman register at orientation, where you’ll meet with an academic adviser to go over your schedule. If you were originally a chem major and now want to be a psych major (for instance), they would send you to a diff adviser to help with your schedule.</p>
<p>what about if we plan on adding another major? im a bio science major, and i want to double major in that and communications. any help?</p>
<p>Annenberg is a separate school at USC. To be admitted to that major when you are a USC CLAS student you must have completed 32 units at USC (not counting AP credits) and are advised to attend an info session:</p>
<p>Information sessions are held throughout the fall and spring semesters for students interested in applying to the Annenberg School for Communication.</p>
<p>ADMISSION STANDARDS</p>
<p>Communication Major
To be eligible to apply to the B.A. in Communication, students must have:</p>
<pre><code>* 32 units completed at USC (16 units at USC for transfer students)
<p>so basically i won’t be able to apply for communications until second semester sophomore year? thats interesting. thanks!!!</p>
