<p>Hey guys, I guess it was very stupid of me applying to UCSD for Chemical Engineering major instead of Bioengineering major since what I heard from many of you guys was that UCSD's Bioengineering major is excellent as opposed to Chem Engineering (poop). I must say that I am very good with both chem and bio, but slightly better and more interested in chem. Right now I kinda regret for applying to UCSD for Chem engineering major. My question is: can you change your major to bioengineering in UCSD?</p>
<p>Switching majors is extremely easy if you are switching to a non impacted major. I switched from structural engineering to electrical engineering in a day. I just emailed them the changes I wanted. Heres the email: admissionstatus.ucsd.edu</p>
<p>But, because you are swithcing to bioengineering, an impacted major, I dont know how that will work. Theres no harm in trying.</p>
<p>yeah, it's possible to switch into BE. tough, but possible.</p>
<p>there's no way they can close off majors like that; not everyone knows what they want to do at age 17/18!</p>
<p>Right now I'm in the Computer Science major. I plan on staying in, but just in case I don't like it as much as I expect, are there any business majors I can fall back on? And they aren't impacted are they?</p>
<p>UCSD has Business Economics but not Business.</p>
<p>I got in as a Computer Engineering applicant. But I want to change it to Computer Science just because I think CE will be difficult and stressful. What do you think?</p>
<p>We have a Management Science major which i guess is closer to business than econ is. One of my suitemates is actually doing that. It requires the higher level calculus classes though. It's the same level engineers have to take too.</p>
<p>I also have a suitemate majoring in CE and one in CS. They're actually taking some classes together so I guess the major overlap a little. CS is easier though, from what I've heard. You'd have to look at the requirements for each though, just go to the UCSD website, majors and check out the requirements for the two.</p>
<p>The majors overlap a little, but engineering is a LOT more Calculus. My computer programming teacher told me if I'm into Calculus and I can do it, he'd recommend otherwise take CS. </p>
<p>The good thing is they generally the same pre-reqs, so you can play around with it before you decide.</p>
<p>"yeah, it's possible to switch into BE. tough, but possible.</p>
<p>there's no way they can close off majors like that; not everyone knows what they want to do at age 17/18!"</p>
<p>Yeah, they can. BE is closed and you won't get in.</p>
<p>CS and CE are very similar with a lot of overlap. CS takes a few more software courses and CE takes a few more EE courses. One isn't harder or easier than the other - it just depends on what one likes better. They both take lots of math - beyond calculus. I don't believe CE requires any more math than CS. You can easily find the recommended curriculum for both on UCSD's website and compare for yourself. </p>
<p>At UCSD CS is in the school of engineering.</p>
