<p>HI,
I just got into college of arts and sciences, but am becoming more and more interested in business. I know we can take classes in different schools of wustl, but is it easy to transfer, to totally move from one school to another?
thanks ^_^</p>
<p>From what we were told when we visited, just pick up the phone and they will basically switch you....</p>
<p>It's very easy to transfer between schools.</p>
<p>does anybody have any insights for Olin? I was accepted into Olin Business, but I am not sure if I don't want to just study something like poli. sci./history in Arts & Sciences. Should I talk to WashU about switching my acceptance now, or should I just go Business at first?</p>
<p>I'd call the admissions and ask, but I am sure you'll have no problem transferring into A&S.</p>
<p>Just start in Olin - You only take 1 business course during your first semester (the rest are in ArtSci or other schools), and that class is an intro/overview of what's to come, and gets the basics out of the way. That's the best thing to do to make sure you want to switch out, or stay in.</p>
<p>thanks, oncampus
I figured I would go and start in Olin. How hard would it be to transfer second semester of freshmen year? Do Olin students still get to take freshman seminars on interesting topics?</p>
<p>First semester they take Management and it’s a hard one for those that didn’t have any economics during HS; also they should pass a Math course, the rest it’s up to you, most students take languages classes. I don’t think with just one semester you could get the whole idea of business. Olin is harder to get in than Arts & Sciences, if you can, take advantage of it.</p>
<p>Olin students still have full reign over the artsci course listings.</p>
<p>I see,thanks!</p>
<p>I was in the Olin Business School my freshman year and decided I wanted a more liberal arts focused education. I transferred into Arts and Sciences and am about to graduate with majors in economics and political science.</p>
<p>The transfer was smooth and I got a lot of 1 on 1 interaction with different Deans in Arts and Sciences, including a couple transitional and instructional meetings. They are very happy when people join Artsci and do a lot to ensure you become acclimated to the school.</p>
<p>thanks washusenior! so you transferred during soph. year with no problems catching up on major requirements? awesome</p>
