Switching Majors

<p>Does anyone know how hard it is to switch majors? I got in as an Economics major, but I'm pretty sure I'm going to pursue Political Science, if I don't decide to double.</p>

<p>it's not hard unless ur switching into like journalism or film, which your not, just talk to your counseler on orientation</p>

<p>It's a piece of cake if it's within the same school (College of Letters Arts and Sciences).</p>

<p>you can probably just tell them at orientation and they'll fix it right up for you there, no muss, no fuss.</p>

<p>I emailed my admissions counselor about 2 weeks ago (about three weeks after I was admitted) saying I wanted to change it, and he changed it right there and then without any questions. It was within the same school (letters, arts, sciences)</p>

<p>What if you want to change to a major in another school?</p>

<p>My major is currently 'undecided' - so how hard would it be to get into the competitive schools? If I don't get the major that I want, what would happen then? I would be forced to stay in USC studying a subject I don't want to study?</p>

<p>These are excellent concerns and questions. You should really ask the counselors these questions as things are ever-changing. These USC counselors are absolutely wonderful. They are accessible and welcoming. Please begin to know them, as they will guide you. At our orientation, I was so impressed with how much they care, and how much my daughter relies on their guidance.</p>
