<p>Okay I am currently a first year engineering major at Rutgers University School of Engineering. After taking first semester courses, I have decided that engineering is just not my cup of tea. I hate physics and chemistry. I like Math. I need to swtich my major as soon as possible before I get screwed over too badly. I want to switch to Finance. Can I do this? Do I have to transfer from the School of Engineering at Rutgers to Rutgers College? The way it works at Rutgers is that those who wish to major in business(finance, accounting, marketing, etc.) need to apply to the business school during their second year, after taking some required business courses. Can I start taking these required courses next semester or do I have to finish the year as an engineering major? I am really worried because if I have to finish the year as an engineering student, I won't have all of my required courses completed to apply to the business school and I will be hurting my GPA with the science classes. I emailed the dean of the engineering school today about this, but I would like advice from you guys too. Is it common for engineering majors to switch from engineering to business? I hope I dont have to spend an extra year taking these courses. Please help!!</p>
<p>it's very common people from engineering switch to an easier major such as business. Vice versa, is extremely rare.</p>
<p>I don't think asking us here helps since there'll be less than useful opinions given most of us here aren't from Rutgers and can't give you the scoop of the administration...</p>
<p>but my advise, just suck it up and finish up good with a good GPA on those classes, it's tough, but think about the sugar you'll be tasting after. And then transfer those courses you took as electives, and start 2nd year doing all the required businesses courses and get into the business school, if your school starts the biz maj at year 3, if not, you can't do much except try to get in a year after and finish all those courses later and perhaps graduate a year later.</p>
