Hi all, I got accepted into SDSU and the Webers Honors College with a major in civil engineering. I now realize that it’s probably not what i want to study in college. For those of you that are currently at SDSU or graduated or know anything about changing majors, is it hard? I want to switch into accounting or business administration as soon as possible. Thanks!
Admission to the pre-business major is controlled by the College of Business Administration. Students must meet specific requirements in order to be able to change to any pre-business major.
You may change to a pre-business major if you meet one of the following:
You have completed 6-29 college units and have an overall GPA of at least 2.0
You have completed 30-59 college units and have an overall GPA of at least 2.7
You have completed 60 units or more and have an overall GPA of at least 2.9
When you meet one of the requirements listed above, visit the Business Advising Center (EBA 448) for information on how to change your major.
You may not take RWS 290: Business Communications until you have declared your pre-business major. However, you may take all the other major preparatory courses and your general education courses if you are not a pre-business major.
You need to speak with your Freshman Orientation advisor this summer to plan out your schedule so you can switch.
You cannot switch prior to attending Freshman Orientation since you need to be enrolled and have at least a minimum 6 units completed as stated above.
So if I can meet one of those requirements would it be a guarantee that I get in? @Gumbymom
If you meet the requirements stated, I would assume you can switch majors. Again, confirm everything with an advisor this summer during orientation. Sometimes requirements can change for the new academic year, so it is always advisable to double check. Good Luck.
Thank you! @Gumbymom
