Changing Majors (Before Entering UT)

Colleges and Universities A-Z The University of Texas at Austin

Hi,

I applied Plan II (got rejected) with a second possible major as Arts and Entertainment Technologies. I’m actually looking at Design, but since these two are in the same school, I thought it’d be easier to transfer since I’d take the art history classes anyways. But I now rather go in as a Liberal Arts major and try for design as a secondary degree.
Can I change from Arts and Entertainment Technologies to, say, Linguistics before fall 2018 (when I would attend UT)?
If no, how would this affect my classes the fall semester?

I believe you can switch majors at orientation. One of my friends went from McCombs to CNS

I’ve also heard that some are able to switch majors at orientation. I’m in a similar boat trying to switch from Dance to Advertising and I was told to file an admissions appeal. Give admissions a call and see what they recommend.
