<p>I have heard that the College of Human Ecology is bascally the College of Arts and Sciences just applied to real life. Is that true?</p>
<p>Also, how easy is it to select Human Ecology on your application and then transfer to Arts and Sciences? Has anyone ever done that?</p>
<p>never heard of that before. humec is pretty different from cas… i know at least 3 people who were in humec that transferred out into cas because it didn’t meet their needs.</p>
<p>humecs easier to get into if you’re in NY… it’s a nice option if you really want cas but dont want the competition (during the application process). if you’re out of state, might as well apply CAS</p>
<p>you definitely need to look at the specific offerings in Human Ecology before you choose it. it has FAR fewer options than CAS, and a fairly different set of graduation requirements. </p>
<p>transferring between schools is possible, and there are info sessions and people here who would be able to help you figure that out, but you really shouldn’t plan for it.</p>
<p>yeah. i second faustarp (i love radiohead btw)… your eventual goal is a degree and spending time switching between schools isn’t really worth it. by sophomore year youll be working on your major pretty intensely so being a little behind and taking extra credits may have you wanting to jump off of thurston bridge. if you really want to be in CAS apply to it. </p>
<p>definitely do not plan on maneuvering between schools.</p>
<p>i’m in humec so i’m probably biased, but i used to be a psych major at my old school. it’s definitely different, but for me it’s exactly what i wanted. i would take a look at the course catalog and see what classes are in each school. depending on your prospective major, a lot are cross-listed with departments in CAS (or at least, for my major they are) so there will probably be some overlap. i wouldn’t apply to one over the other for the purpose of just getting in though, because they’ll probably see right through that.</p>
