<p>Hello everybody. I am a first year student currently enrolled in the School of Engineering at Rutgers University. I just had one question - Will I be able to switch to a business major (Finance/Economics) my second year if Engineering doesn't work out for me? Or am I confined to Engineering? My current courses are the following if it matters: </p>

<p>13 Credits</p>

<p>151 Calculus
123 Analytical Physics
159 General Chemistry for Engineers
171 Intro to Experimentation
127 Intro to Computers for Engineers</p>

<p>I want to finish the year as an Engineering major, and then I may want to switch to business next fall. Is this possible without too much trouble? Thanks in advance.</p>

<p>Yea, it should be no problem. I had friends switch to business in their junior years as engineers.</p>

3

<p>No much problem. If your school permits, you could try doing a minor or certicate in business.</p>

4

<p>Funny...I was a first yr business major then I switched to Engineering. I switched schools so Im probably no help on your case.</p>

5

<p>Many engineering dropouts go on to business!</p>

<p>I agree, that's what so weird about my case. Several people had asked me why I did that</p>

<p>Do it so there will be less competition for me for a job. Do whatever you want.</p>
