Please help!

Hi there! I’m currently attending UCSB this fall, but I really want to change my major. I got into the college of Letters and Science for psychology, but want to probably study something else later on. If I wanted to switch to engineering, how hard would it be to do so?

It is extremely difficult to switch into the College of Engineering at most schools and at UCSB it is almost impossible. You can switch from Psych to Physics (which are both in L&S) pretty easily.

Can I switch to any major in College of L&S?

Look here: http://www.duels.ucsb.edu/advising/planning/major

“The procedure for changing or declaring your major is the same: simply visit your new major department’s office (not the College of Letters and Science). The department advisor or staff will assist you in completing a Change of Major Petition in order to make your choice official.”

Yes, just walk in to the department you want to switch to and fill out the form.
