<p>I have recently been admitted into UCLA, but under my alternate major-women's studies. I heard that it's possible to switch into history @ either orientation or after waiting a quarter? So i have two questions. One, will i be able to switch to history? Two, i'm a male that was admitted into UCLA as a women's studies major. I don't really have an interest in the subject at all, and i just put that as my alternative major (TAP) to improve my chances of getting in the school. So, would i not be allowed to switch, solely because i'm a male who's a women's studies major student. In other words: would they be suspicious about why i want to switch to history from a women's studies major? Or does it not matter, as long as i have the lower division pre reqs done? Any responses will be appreciated!</p>
<p>bumppppppp</p>
<p>Can anyone please help me out with this? I got accepted to UCSD and UCSB as a history major and i’m trying to see if i can switch majors @ UCLA to history? If not, then i would go to either UCSD or UCSB.</p>
<p>Email the history department at UCLA, they’ll be able to help you with your question.</p>

<p>ahahah dude, same thing happened to me!! I got into womens studies instead of communication studies. blahhh so did you hear back or got an answer??</p>
<p>haha, no but i will email them soon. I heard that it’s not hard to switch into history @ orientation or after a quarter. However, i don’t think you will be able to switch into communications because it’s so impacted. Are you a guy who also put women’s studies as their alternate major? lol</p>
<p>Yeah I heard during Orientation that the counselor will ask if you want to change your major… and i guess there is a list. No, I have already got in touch with the CS advisor and I will need to wait until I have completed 45 units at UCLA before I can apply to transfer or to double-major. She says there a chance as long as we get As in the CS classes and solid UCLA GPA. </p>
<p>AHha… no, I am girl who put women studies down cause my CC counselor said I need to have a nonimpacted major for alternative. lol. fabolous idea.</p>
<p>I think i am going to switch to anthropology if possible and minor in film. Or I try for comm next summer…</p>
<p>That’s good. Do you know if History is on the list of majors you can switch to?</p>
<p>when I was looking through the past threads, I did see some mentions about people switching into history but I am not 100% sure.</p>
