<p>Hey all,
While I visited UM a month or two ago, I was told in one of the info sessions that to change majors at UM, you have to reapply to the other school within UM and get accepted again.</p>
<p>I just wanted to ask anyone who went there and changed majors whether this is mostly just a formality, or if it's actually difficult... I'm currently thinking of being an Engineer but I'm increasingly unsure about it, and I want to have a fair amount of flexibility.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>I'm assuming you will do LSA to Engineering...</p>
<p>You will need to have 2 semesters of Math (starting at Math 115), Physics 140, Chem 125/130, the freshman writing requirement, and Engin 101.</p>
<p>AP Credit will get you out of many of these classes, but if you don't have it, start getting these classes out of the way your first semester at school.</p>
<p>The second part is GPA...you need to have a GPA above a certain point to transfer to an engineering degree program. It's always above 2.5, possibly up to 3.0 for mechanical, chemical, electrical, etc.</p>
<p>But if you meet all of the requirements, it is just a formality :)</p>
<p>Look up "Engineering Transfer" on umich.edu and find the cross-campus section for better info.</p>
<p>Well, I'm applying to the college of engineering, but think I might end up transferring out if I don't like it... Is it hard to transfer in that situation? Do people ever get rejected?</p>
<p>First of all, you're technically changing colleges within the university, not changing majors.</p>
<p>But more to the point, if you start off in Engineering and decide you don't like it, you'll have no problem transferring in to LSA. Getting accepted for a transfer from CoE to LSA is more or less automatic.</p>
<p>Heh, my bad about the changing colleges within the university thing.</p>
<p>Thanks for the info, though. I liked Michigan a lot but was a little worried about that-</p>
