<p>I am a freshman engineer and I'm quickly finding out I hate engineering. It's not too hard, I just don't like it. Will it be easy/ok to switch to my school's business program?</p>
<p>How would we know? Why don’t you ask your school’s business program?</p>
<p>Well what are you taking right now (courses)?</p>
<p>right now I am taking calc, physics, chem, intro to computers, and an elective.</p>
<p>You got to do what you want to do in life (including college).</p>
<p>I don’t know if it is accurate (I was told it at a college orientation by the girl giving a speech), but on average a college student changes their major 4 times during their undergrad career.</p>
<p>^^It’s accurate. I have heard 6 times before. </p>
<p>The classes you are taking can be applied as your sciences or electives. So you’ll have a smooth transition.</p>
<p>What do you mean you hate engineering? You aren’t taking any engineering classes. Calculus, physics, chemistry, and computer science are all typical courses for a variety of majors and tracks (pre-med, etc). But they are weeder classes, nonetheless.</p>
<p>I don’t think that’s wholly accurate, Sligh_Anarchist. There’s a strong overlap between those foundational courses and what you eventually learn in your discipline. For example, good luck doing stress analysis without a physics background. Or, doing chemical engineering unit operations without knowing chemistry well. And, note: most engineering colleges/ general universities consider computer science - especially, if one specializes in, say, software engineering - as an engineering discipline, although sometimes it may be in a different school but in the general engineering college. </p>
<p>Back to collegekid…general rule in transferring from colleges, majors or anything is the longer you wait the harder it is to make the transition. The second rule is that the better your grades and more impressive your achievements, then the easier it is to secure admission to where you want. I say this in case you attend a university with a competitive business program.</p>
