Is this a good idea for a transfer? Has anyone majored or is majoring Human Biology?

<p>Hello, my name is Eli (nickname). I will be attending UC Santa Cruz this fall 2014 as an undergraduate student. Before applying, I loved everything about UC Santa Cruz. There is one problem though that has came up. I knew before accepting the offer admission that they didn't have a dietetics major at UC Santa Cruz. However, for a back up, I could just major in Computer Science. I have an extreme passion for dietetics or food/nutrition. In addition, that was what was holding me out not to attend this university. I did see that they offered "Human Biology" major of a bachelor's degree. One of the careers I can get out of it is if I was to further continue my school with Human Biology, I could transfer to another university and become a R.D. (Registered Dietitian). My aunt told me not to worry about my major, but to remember that the average college student changes their major about five times before their junior year. I was wondering if anyone has majored or is currently majoring in Human Biology. </p>

<p>I have another question. Would it be a smart idea to get my major in what I would like to pursue and then transfer to a California State College like Sacramento State or Cal Poly? Or, do you think it a smarter idea to just apply to a UC? </p>

<p>depends on which one is cheaper. state schools are all the same besides some with a highlight in a certain field. you would be better off studying general bio as it gives you more opportunities. </p>

<p>if you want to be an RD why mess around when you can just work towards it? i would personally just choose to go to a school that offered my major if that was an option for me, as transfering can be rather stressful</p>
