Changing major within College of L&S

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of California - Berkeley

<p>I got accepted into the College of Letters & Sciences as a Cell & Developmental Bio major. I'm a transfer student, and there wasn't an option on the application to choose what I was truly interested in, which is the realm of Physiology/Neuroscience</p>

<p>After some digging around, I realized that Berkeley has general Biology, Neurobiology, and Cognitive Science departments within the College of L&S. I'm a little lost. Can I choose these as majors, and if so, would I be able to change to one of them?</p>

<p>You most likely can since you probably have met prereqs from them all (except cog sci)</p>

<p>integrative biology is full of physiology classes. Talk to the IB advisers and see if you can transfer in. I don't know changing majors works for transfers</p>

4

<p>No, not IB. MCB has Neurobiology emphasis that is perfect for you. You can easily switch since CDB and Neurobiology are both MCB divisions.</p>

<p>I don't have a specific answer to your question, but I know a few transfers who have switched majors. It is definitely possible. Talk to the major adviser for the major you are interested in to plan your course of action.</p>
