Hello! I’m interested in both Engineering and Chemistry and can’t make up my mind. Is it hard to switch majors at Harvey Mudd, or am I stuck with whatever I apply as? Ty!
You definitely are not stuck with what you apply with, and everyone basically takes the same classes during the first year anyway so you have time to decide.
It is really easy to switch for the first year and a half or so. You can try out both areas and make up your mind. My kid switched away from her original major, then back to it at end of sophomore year.
Yup. Easy. And I believe technically you don’t even declare a major until your sophomore year. Core takes the first 3 semesters so everyone is pretty much taking the same classes regardless of major.
