So I was accepted to smeal but I called in to change my major to management. Without telling me they placed me in DUS and kicked me out of smeal. I know that you are not in smeal until junior year so I don’t really care. However, i just want to know what’s the difference between studying business in DUS to getting into smeal rather than starting in smeal and getting into smeal. I’ve talked to few people who are in Penn state and they said the only difference is the advisors and I’m wondering what’s that suppose to mean? Would the teachers be the same teachers whether I am in DUS or am in smeal? I also had read that there are smeal events? In that case, am I allowed to attend? Thanks!
Teachers are the same. When you want to talk to someone about scheduling, you talk to the advisors at DUS instead of the advisors at Smeal.
I’m not sure why they changed your college – you didn’t even need to call, really, because since you haven’t even started yet, all you’d have to do is follow the management recommended academic plan instead of the other one.
