<p>In LSA you need to declare a major by the end of your sophomore year but it’s easy to change your major to another LSA major after that. Transferring from LSA to Ross is usually done at the end of freshman year because the BBA program is a 3-year course of study that normally starts in the sophomore year, but that’s a pretty competitive transfer process; obviously, Ross “pre-admits” have the inside track because their transfer is guaranteed so long as they meet the freshman GPA requirements, but lots of people do transfer without being pre-admits–and some are turned away. </p>
<p>Traditionally there have been lots of transfers from engineering to LSA, some by people who find the STEM courses too hard, others who just find themselves wanting to pursue some other field of study. Back in my day there were fewer transfers from LSA into engineering, partly because most engineering majors require lots of sequenced courses and it’s hard to pack it all into 4 years if you get a late start. I’d be interested in hearing whether that’s still true as engineering and business seem to be “hot” fields of study these days.</p>
