<p>So I recently got accepted to UCR under the Neuroscience (BA) - CHASS major.
While I was doing the application I was confused and didn't understand what CHASS or CNAS meant.
Is it possible to change to CNAS rather than be CHASS?</p>
<p>Also is it even worth it?
What's the difference between the two? I know one gets reviewed by Psychologists and the other by.. scientists? But what does this mean for me, and the future?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>Chass= college of humanities and social science.</p>
<p>Thank you, I now know that, but what does it mean to have a degree from one and a degree from another in the same field though? Or the classes that need to be taken?</p>
<p>Will I be able to switch?</p>
<p>I thought neuroscience majors(B.S. and B.A) are suppose to be in CNAS. However, I don’t think it matters. It does not matter which degree you obtain. As long as you complete the requirements for medical school or graduate school in any science, you will be able to apply for those schools.</p>
<p>That’s what I would think as well, but UCR says I got accepted into Neuroscience under CHASS for a BA…</p>
<p>I mean I would think it actually meant something if they have 2 departments and it’s possible to get a degree from both.</p>
<p>I’m holding off calling UCR and asking them just for some weird reason that I get rescinded or something…</p>
<p>For your first question, it is possible to switch from CNAS to CHASS. You might be able to do it online or you can wait until orientation.</p>
<p>There really isn’t a huge difference between CNAS/CHASS for Neuroscience majors except that the general education/breadth courses you would have to take would be different.
I think the biggest difference would be getting a B.S. or B.A. degree because the required courses are different (B.S. requires more classes).</p>
<p>You can call UCR if you want (they won’t rescind you), but you can also wait until orientation. I would wait because you’ll actually get a chance to talk to your advisor in person.</p>
<p>I see. Thank you very much.
I guess I’ll wait and see.</p>
