changing majors

[Proons]

<p>I was wondering about how hard it was to change majors, especially since the major is in a different category. I applied to UCI for computer engineering, but now I really want to transfer to business information management, or something that relates to econ/business.</p>

<p>I have a lot of questions about changing majors:</p>

<p>1) can you change your major in the first year of college?</p>

<p>2) the major i want to transfer to is in the school of business, and my current one is in the school of engineering. Does that make transferring harder?</p>

<p>3) Does your major matter in the first year? Such as taking pre-requisite courses for your major as a freshman.</p>

<p>4) If you cannot change your major in the first year, is transferring majors like an application process? (My friend told me business information management only has ~100 slots, so it's very competitive). </p>

<p>I cannot think of any more at the moment, but any other tips about transferring majors will be helpful. Thanks in advance!</p>

<p>1) Yes.
2) Business Administration at the Merage school is an impacted major.
3) May matter
4) Talk to your advisor as to how you can best apply to/transfer to desired major.</p>
