Hello, I am currently a freshmen applying as a second year transfer to LMU. My first major is marketing and my second is management. How hard is it to switch majors? I would switch from coms to marketing if possible because if I get accepted I would have to take a class in the summer as a requirement of acceptance which I would not be able to take. Is there anything I can do? The class is a marketing requirement so thats why I would want to go in as a coms major and try to switch back to marketing. Any help would be appreciated
It certainly can be done but it will not be hassle free. Switching schools within LMU, ie from school of Communications to Business school, involves an internal application process that can be challenging. My daughter tried to transfer from Liberal Arts to Business and eventually gave up on the process after several months of trying and even taking a summer class that was a pre-req. She chose the next best thing, Economics major (in Liberal Arts school) with a Business minor. You can minor in subjects regardless of which school you’re in.
Actually, it is really easy to change from one major to another within the College of Business. It becomes harder if you were admitted into another College and want to switch into Business (it can still be done, but is not as easy).
