<p>Hello! I am an currently a UC student about to end my second year of college as an economics major. Lately, I've been thinking that I might not want to do accounting after I graduate. (I'm doing economics because my college doesn't offer an accounting major). I have been thinking about engineering a lot. I love numbers and problem solving, and electrical engineering especially appeals to me. It's too late to switch to engineering at my school because it will cost way too much money do 4 more years at UC. I'm looking at my option of going back to community college and hoping to transfer to SJSU for their engineering program. But my parents (who are both engineers) think that dropping out of UC now looks bad and that maybe SJSU won't accept me (due to SJSU crowdedness & my below 3.0 grades from taking a bunch of chem and ochem classes- I started out as a biosci major by the way), so then I'd be stuck at community college. They think that I should just finish up my economics degree at UC that way if the engineering doesn't work out (because they know it's extremely tough), at least I have some sort of fall back. Should I finish up economics in two more years, and then go back to community college and try transferring then? Or does that just seem like a huge waste of time (2yrs more of economics, then the 4-5yrs for engineering). I'm such a confused individual as you can see from the amount of times I switched majors Help please! Thank youu</p>
<p>i have done this myself, but i was a math major and switched to cs so the courses overlap. I would talk with my advisor and see how many courses i have already taken that count toward the engineering degree, how many classes you need to take to earn the degree and get a project time frame. Most of the GEC’s should transfer that should knock out a 1 1/2. I used to go to University of Cincinnati if that is the UC you are talking about and back when i went that made a 2yr internship mandatory to graduate, this may have change you should look into it. I think that if you want to do it you should just make sure that this is what you want to do it is very science, math and technology center and being a cse major it is time consuming.</p>
<p>sorry for confusion! I meant UC as university of california.
If I graduate with a BS in economics and decide to go back to a different school to get a BS in engineering, will I still have to redo GE courses and such or will it count from my previous?</p>
<p>Wow.</p>
