Changing TO an engineering major from a non-engineer major

<p>Hey guys, so I posted this on the UC Davis forum, but now that i got into UCSD by divine intervention, i would like to get some feedback from UCSD students.</p>

<p>I just got accepted as an Applied Mathematics major at Revelle.</p>

<p>Since I'm inbetween 3 or 4 other schools, I want to be sure that I can get into the major of my choice. I want to change my major to Civil Engineering. From what I hear, it's a bit complex and difficult to change BEFORE the fall quarter starts, but once you start classes, it's easy as long as you finish a couple of classes and do well. Is this accurate? </p>

<p>Advice from current students would be great. Especially those that are in the engineering department, or have transferred into the engineering department themselves. Any other help would be appreciated.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Don’t think there’s a civil engineering major here, thought there is a structural engineering major. For that, you can just switch to it on tritonlink.
For future refrerence:</p>

<p>for all your questions on majors and such</p>

<p>Is it really that easy to switch majors? I thought there was an extremely difficult process.</p>

4

<p>There is no civil engineering major.</p>

<p>You can switch into any engineering major except for bioengineering.</p>

<p>process not difficult at all unless your switching to an impacted major.</p>

<p>hmm, by the looks of it, i have to enroll first? i can’t request a change right now?</p>

7

<p>civil engineering is structural engineering, which the school has btw</p>

<p>is it easy to switch OUT of an impacted major? i’m bioeng pre-med and i am not 100% sure i want to do this. can i change my mind yr 2 or 3?</p>
