<p>Hello,</p>
<p>Since I've decided to go to Stony Brook, I've realized that I (already) may want to change majors. Instead of Biology, I want to pursue a B.S. in Biochemistry. Not only is it a more interesting field than plain Biology, there are research opportunities for this major that are not only pertinent to my interests, but also to the interests of medical school. I was accepted as a Biology major, so am I stuck with this, or would a simple phone call alleviate this problem?</p>
<p>my daughter… SAME thing. When she went on Advising Planning Forum (on SOLAR) today, she changed it there from Biology to BioChem.</p>
<p>Very easily changed.</p>
<p>Also - good choice on the major. It’s a great program.</p>
<p>LisaRN - That won’t actually change her major officially, but it’s a good start, at least for Orientation purposes. Once she gets here in the fall – and same to you, Xelb – just stop by the registrar, pick up the form, and have the bio department sign off on it.</p>

<p>oh…thank you so much for that Chris. Should she do that during her July 7th orientation… or in August?</p>
<p>Thank you so much Chris! I’m going to keep this thread in mind, not because I want to switch to biochemistry, however, but because I want to switch it to Health Sciences. Sure I’m doing pre-med, but they are only a series of pre-requisites required by medical school, which I will be able to take as a Health Science major. Plus the Emergency Care and Critical Care concentration really seems like something I would enjoy throughly.</p>
<p>@Lisa - No, in August.</p>
<p>@Xelb - The BSHS (Health Sciences) is a whole separate issue; you can “declare” that at any point, although your actual HS coursework won’t start until senior year.</p>
