Pomona vs SLO construction management

<p>I got accepted Pomona today as an undeclared major because i didn’t know what i wanted to do at the time and accepted into SLO under a major I don’t I want to pursue anymore. Construction management has peaked my interest over the past months so that is the major I am targeting right now.</p>

<p>Would it be worth it to go to SLO and try to switch into construction management? Or would it be better to go to Pomona as undeclared and switch in even though they are not as respected as SLO?</p>

<p>I would make sure that you clearly understand the requirements to transfer into Construction Management at both schools - I’ve heard that it is a very competitive and popular major at Cal Poly. Construction Management is part of the College of Architecture and Environmental Design and works closely with the other 4 departments: City and Regional Planning, Architecture, Landscape Architecture, and Architectural Engineering. The department contains almost 400 students and is one of the largest programs of its kind on the West Coast. Admission to the program is highly competitive, with only one in four qualified applicants selected. I would recommend talking to admissions advisors at both schools about your situation. Good luck!</p>

<p>I called both. Pomona doesn’t have a construction management program (go figure). And slo said students need to sign a contract and take specific classes and maintain a specific gpa in them.</p>

<p>In this case, go to SLO. Pomona does not even have your major and it is entirely possible to change majors as indicated by many threads on this forum. Here is the straight scoop on how to change majors at Cal Poly: [Change</a> of Major Policy - Academic Programs - Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo](<a href=“http://www.academicprograms.calpoly.edu/academicpolicies/Policies-Undergrad/Change-major.html]Change”>http://www.academicprograms.calpoly.edu/academicpolicies/Policies-Undergrad/Change-major.html)</p>

<p>My kid changed his major, Ralph4’s kid changed his major more than once and the school is obligated to give you a clear pathway to being able to do this. Follow the instructions in the attached link and you should be OK.</p>

<p>@Osakadad yeah but some majors re-evaluate high school transcripts to see if the student is qualified. Now, im not sure if that means they compare to their average acceptance into that major or if they compare it to their original unversity guidelines.</p>
