I regret choosing the Engineering school, and I would like to change to the College of Arts. I plan to study computer science, but I would like to avoid going through the Engineering requirements. How feasible is to change to the college of arts? and how soon could I do it?
You can apply at the end of your first semester, but you have to have a 3.0 GPA, a recommendation letter from an arts & sciences faculty member, and be enrolled in 9-11 arts & sciences credits the semester you apply to transfer. If you want to transfer as soon as possible, then sign up for mainly arts & sciences courses during pre-enroll.
