Changing Majors?

<p>Would it be difficult to change from a computer science major to an electrical engineering major in cal poly? I’m an incoming freshman, but I may want to change my major from CS to EE.</p>

<p>Computer Science and Electrical Engineering are from the identical department, therefore, I think getting into either CS or EE is not different at all.</p>

<p>Answer your question- I belive so.</p>

<p>what about from biology to poly sci. i know its hard but is it possible.</p>

<p>Easy.. You need like a 3.5 and you have to take 3 poly sci classes and get above a C in them. Cal Poly Biology department is really good though.</p>

<p>The rules state that you have to put in at least one quarter as a CSC (or whatever major you are in... Though, that might just be a College of Engineering thing). That one they are very unlikely to budge on. You also need a certain number of classes, and you need to get a certain GPA in those classes. I've heard they can be a bit more lenient on that if you are just starting out (I know a guy who switched to MatE the second quarter of his freshman year). In reality, everything you take your first quarter as a CSC translates to EE. EVERYTHING. This includes CSC/CPE 101. So, no real loss...</p>

<p>My sister changed from Civil Engineering to City and Regional Planning at the end of her first quarter. She had to get some paperwork signed.</p>
