<p>So I was just accepted under the college of arts and sciences and I was wondering what steps I would have to go to in order to switch to Stern school of business. Is it harder and does it require a separate application?</p>
<p>From what I’ve gather, you have to attend CAS for a year then apply for a transfer</p>
<p>So do you have any knowledge on how to transfer to a different major in the same college? I applied under psychology but it just seems like such a useless major does anyone else agree? What do you think would be a good major worth paying the 50k a year?</p>
<p>anyone? :(</p>
<p>You’re not bound to the major you applied with. Switching majors in CAS is easy peasy.</p>
<p>testing,</p>
<p>I imagine that it would be simple enough to change to another major within the same college. It would normally be more of an issue if you wanted to switch/ transfer to another college within NYU. Most colleges do not hold their admitted students to their declared majors at the time of application. Generally, you have until the latter part of sophomore year to declare your major. (Someone else correct me if this policy has changed over the years. I do not think so.)</p>
<p>Psychology at the bachelors level is not a very “marketable” degree, unless you are strong in networking and get job leads through some “powerful” connections. It really is not one of the higher paid undergraduate majors (though it is generally a very popular major for undergraduates in many colleges). Even a master’s degree in psychology is not as useful as say, a master’s in social work. You can apply for your M.S.W. with a bachelor’s in psychology (a good fit). However, the M.S.W. is also not known to be highly paid degree. I think anywhere from $40,000 + to a little over $60,000, depending on where you look for work and the opportunities in the place you will settle. (Also, being say bilingual Spanish might help in getting work.)</p>
<p>Anyway, you are right to be concerned. Unless you are prepared to go onto graduate studies in social work, or a Ph.D. in psychology, or even a medical degree, the undergraduate degree in psychology is not the most lucrative of degrees to hold.</p>
<p>So what do you say would be a good choice under the college of arts and sciences? Im open to all opinions right now on what is good and what is bad im just trying to get a broad range of choices since im comfortable with almost any subject</p>
<p>testing,</p>
<p>That is a very difficult question to answer. It really depends on your own interests and those will likely evolve or change as time goes by. Especially since you do not sound committed to any one area of pursuit right now (from your question). Part of the answer will come from your taking college classes and determining what is a good fit for yourself based on your ability to grasp the material and the interest you have in the topic area.</p>
<p>Now, if you are thinking pragmatically (going back to your original post), certainly a business degree could be the one of the lucrative degrees. It is generally known that engineering majors graduate with the most attractive job offers money-wise. Many people with liberal arts degrees choose to go on for advanced degrees in medicine, law, teaching (at the university level) or research. </p>
<p>It really depends on your interests/ abilities, plans for amount of schooling beyond the bachelors level, financial means to pay for education beyond the bachelors level. If you plan on just sticking to a bachelors, then you should look at degrees say in education (teaching at the elementary or secondary school levels), nursing, finance (economics), accounting, etc. where you would likely get jobs and jobs that are paid relatively well at the bachelors level. </p>
<p>Your question depends a lot on who you are as a person, what your interests and strengths are, your motivation, as well as your financial circumstances. Also, the answer also will get become evident in large part as you embark on the college journey itself.</p>
<p>A separate but related question has to do with the expense of a NYU education ( a private college education with maybe minimal financial assistance).</p>
