UCSB

Is it easy to switch majors from Pre-Film and Media Studies to Pre-Communications in UCSB?? Should I ask to switch now or wait until the first semester to switch?

You may be able to switch during orientation, or if not during your first quarter at school. There is no rush.

The dept says

Students intending to become a Communication major are strongly encouraged to declare Pre-Communication as their major. “Pre-Comm” may be declared at any time before the pre-major is completed, but doing so earlier gives students priority during registration to enroll in pre-major courses.

Those requirements are 4 Comm Studies courses listed at https://my.sa.ucsb.edu/catalog/Current/Documents/2018_Majors/LS/Comm/Pre-Communication_2018.pdf

You are not behind if you don’t take one your very first quarter at UCSB. It’s only 4 courses over perhaps 2 years before you officially declare the major.
