<p>Currently I'm a business major at my university and I plan on applying for transfer. Most schools I am applying to don't have a business program so I might switch to either engineering or economics.</p>
<p>I was just wondering if my business credits would transfer over and is it likely (if I do end up transferring) that I'm going to have to stay for an extra semester/year at my transfer school?</p>
<p>Schools I am thinking of applying to are Columbia, Brown and Vanderbilt.</p>

<p>It is often difficult if not impossible to change majors to engineering. Engineering majors tend to have a very set curriculum which begins early in college. This is particularly true since you’re looking at a jr transfer and are not in a related field such as physics, math, etc.</p>
<p>what if it’s Financial Engineering which consists of some business classes.</p>
<p>Sorry, I’m not familiar with FE. Schools vary in what credits they accept, so you might want to give them a call before applying.</p>
<p>how hard would it be to switch from business to economics though?</p>
<p>It would be much easier to switch to economics than to engineering, I’m am positive.
I second what entomom said about the curriculum also. I am a junior engineering student and the coursework has been a load every semester.</p>
