<p>At which universities is it really difficult to switch colleges/majors not within a college? Or double majoring in 2 colleges?</p>
<p>Example: I know Carnegie Mellon has a limited number of spots so it's often nearly impossible to switch colleges. Or you have to go through an entire re-application process for some places. But somewhere like Wash U is really easy.</p>
<p>If the school has a main liberal arts college and perhaps an engineering or nursing school etc. that's fine but if there are 5 different colleges or so that you have to pick from before you begin? I'm super undecided so I need the option to switch.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>I’m considering attending Emory next year and they make it very easy to switch between majors… Other than the Business school (and maybe nursing?), you just tell them what you want to major in and that’s the end of it.</p>
<p>You’d have to check each university individually. Difficulty of changing major is also likely to vary depending on whether the target major is at its capacity at the school (for example, CS at Washington is nearly full and is very competitive to change into for those not directly admitted as freshmen, but CS (not EECS) at Berkeley has enough capacity to allow all students who pass the prerequisites with a 2.0 GPA).</p>
<p>Double majoring across divisions is another thing that you need to check individually. In many cases, the added difficulty is due to differences in breadth requirements in the different divisions, adding additional courses that one needs to take in order to graduate in both divisions. In other cases, it is less the matter of being across divisions but because the majors themselves have a lot of non-overlapping requirements.</p>
<p>There is no list for this on CC from my google search. You can add your school to the list (ABC order please)</p>
<p>As posters mentioned above, there are several degrees
- Difficult to switch into a different school</p>
<p>2) Difficult to switch into restricted majors</p>
<p>3) Difficult to cross major in a different school (administrative difficulties, not time/credit constraints)</p>
<p>4) Easy to switch into major or school
Duke
Emory</p>
<p>^ Yeah basically I’d like a list like that. I’ll probably have to end up looking up individual schools but if anyone can add to that list off the bat that’d be great (I’m guessing most are fairly easy to switch, but I’d like to know which schools aren’t.) Good to know about Duke & Emory, they’re two schools I’m considering but I don’t know if I’ll be able to get down to visit them.</p>
<p>The list could easily get voluminous since the restrictions could be very major dependent at each school that has them.</p>
