<p>is it possible to change majors if they are in the same department?
would this be easier?</p>
<p>Yes, It is very easy to change your major, as long as the new major in not impacted. Whether the new major is in the same department as the old one or not, it's the same one page form. You just take that form and hand it in to the registrar. I just changed my major (been meaning to since the beginning of the year) and its was quite easy; took me 60 seconds to fill it out and turn it in. The hardest part is just walking there.</p>
<p>Here is the form:
