<p>My daughter wants to take the Pre-Pharm program. In case she is not accepted into Pharmacy school, she wants to work for a degree in Chemical Engineering or Bio-Medical Engineering.</p>
<p>Can she declare a Pre-Pharm major and take classes toward the other disciplines? Does she need to apply to the Engineering school to be allowed to take Engineering classes? Does she need to apply to the Natural Science school?</p>
<p>This depends completely on her college of choice. Sometimes the engineering school is separate, and people enrolled in something like a pre-pharm program can’t take courses from it at all. Sometimes you can take courses, but you still need to go through a competitive admissions process to transfer into engineering. Sometimes it’s not separate, and switching majors to engineering is no big deal.</p>
<p>Does it make more sense to apply to the Engineering school right from the start and simply take Pre-Pharm classes?</p>
<p>We like to talk to the advisors from various colleges but we don’t know whether they would spend time to answer us since my D is not a student yet. The other thing is whether they would view her application negatively if she still waffle about her career path?</p>
