Switching Majors After Transferring

Hello, folks!

This is my first College Confidential post, as I am a new member. :smiley: I wanted to ask a question in regards to UC Berkeley:

So, I was wondering if it is possible to transfer into UCB as an Anthropology major and then switch majors to CS (L&S) once accepted. I’m currently a CS major and I’m getting A’s in every single one of my classes (including CS) except mathematics, which I know are important classes. I recently found out that I’m a student with disabilities, which most likely explains the difficulties I’m having with math. I have pretty much finished all my pre-req’s except for math.

UC Berkeley has been a dream school of mine since I came to the United States from eastern Europe as a refugee in the late 90’s. With that being said, I want to do whatever it takes to get into this school.

What do you guys think? Please let me know if you need anymore information about myself.

You would have to meet the new major’s entry requirements. For L&S CS, the requirements are described at http://www.eecs.berkeley.edu/csugrad/#petitioning .

More L&S information for transfer students is at http://ls-advise.berkeley.edu/transferfaqs.html .
