changing majors?

<p>hi im currently a freshman at usc with my major being anthropology. I'm having second thoughts on this career and would really like to change to biology? Is this easy to change? It says it requries one full semester till the change, does that mean I would have to attend an extra semester even though im only takign generel ed classes right now?</p>

<p>You might wanna check on that right away and contact that school's admission office.</p>

<p>I wanted to move from Fine art major to Animation major where the admission office lady told me i would have to goto fine art for one more semester and then transfer. so ok, i thought.</p>

<p>Urhm no. Apprantly animation major is starting 'officially' on Fall 2007 so i would have to go to school for one more year. It really sucked esp because the admission lady gave me the wrong info.</p>

<p>There might be a deadline for transfers and stuff so go contact the advisor for that department either through email or phone... i hope your major change works out.</p>

<p>no, i think it means they want to see an official USC GPA before they change your major.</p>

<p>i don't see why it would require you to attend an extra semester though, I can't imagine that the bio program is that packed. if you want to be pre-med though that's probably something to consider early on.</p>

<p>@uyulove:
do you mean the BA in Animation and Digital Arts in the cinema school? it's in the catalogue this year, which supposedly means it's avaliable now. perhaps they mean that you won't be accepted into the program until at least fall 2007.</p>

<p>if that's the case, then you might want to ask about what courses you would take in the spring which would count toward the requirements, like CTCS-192m, which at least counts for diversity.</p>

<p>alternatively, it could be that the program is on the books but they're just not offering any courses in it, which is a kind of cheap trick if you ask me.</p>

<p>Transfering into bio is very, very easy. Just go and talk to the advisors. Physically talk to them, as they don't reply to emails, at least not in my experience.</p>

<p>jbusc- no i even argued with the admission lady and met her and everything. They are only letting the juniors who have enough credits to make up the lower major requirements... the program is going to 'officially' start at Fall of 2007 and it's set. Like they won't have any of the higher classes available because nobody's going to be able to take those until they take the lower classes (so everybody will be pretty much stuck together through the whole thing) so yeah.. i can't cram all my major classes into my schedule or anything even if i don't need a GE. which freakin' sucks. I guess I'm just gonna stick with fine art and minor in animation.</p>
