<p>Hello! I am a high school senior and I am unsure about my major. When I go to university, can I change majors between the schools in the same university? For example changing from Keck School of Medicine in USC to USC School of Architecture? Is is ok if the majors differ too much?</p>
<p>It will depend on the university, and within the university, possibly depending on the major/department/college within the university. So, either google your own university and “change major architecture” or ask your relevant persons at your university (advisor or whoever helps you register, freshman orientation people, people at the department you’re considering switching to).</p>
<p>Here’s to get you started:

<p>Thank you for the help!</p>
<p>You can always change your major. The average college student changes their major 4 times. </p>
<p>That being said, some majors are easier to change into than others. Many schools have special admittance for each major, so you would have to meet the requirements of the major you are looking into within your school. Most Architecture schools have a special admittance process.</p>
<p>Also, some majors require starting the prerequisites early. Even if there is no need to apply to change majors, changing into a physics major after the third semester is likely to delay graduation if one has not taken any math or physics courses before, while changing into a history major after the third semester is more likely to be doable with on-time graduation even if one has not taken any history courses before.</p>
<p>So I can change my major even if the major I’m changing to is completely unrelated to the previous major?</p>
<p>Yes, it just might take longer than 4a years for you to graduate</p>
