I received the offer from University of Rochester some days ago. I have some questions about this university. I applied for history major in the College of Arts and Science, but maybe in the future I will consider studying Accounting. Can I change my major between different colleges? Is it difficult? Do I have to reach some special standards, like high GPA?
Any feedback would be very much appreciated! Thank you in advance!
I would check with the college directly.
There’s no separate application for each college and from what it sounded like at the info session we attended, it’s pretty easy to switch between colleges (although I’d guess switching into the CoEngineering would be tough after the first year).
Switching majors is not hard since you do not apply to be accepted to that major till the end of Soph year. So for Engineering, you just need all that math, physics, chem etc completed. If you change later, you will be at UR longer as the engineering classes sort of go in order after you take the basic stuff and you can not proceed until each level is done. Since UR is a smaller school, certain classes are only offered in the fall or spring which can be problematic if you don’t plan accordingly.
