USC Questions

<p>What is this major like? (Music Industry in the music school) Does it focus a lot on the business side of music or more on musicians (probably this)?</p>

<p>Also, how easy is it to switch schools? (College ->Marshall, College -> Music School, etc.)</p>

<p>If you want to switch schools you'll have to contact the school's academic advisor (or maybe it's the school's admissions). You have to be in good standing to switch majors/schools, and if you want to switch immediately, they will re-review your application for that major/school. This way, there're no "backdoor admissions" --an average admit to CAS will have a hard time trying to transfer into a more competitive cinema program</p>

<p>If you're an incoming freshman, you can switch majors at orientation...at least that's what an admissions counselor told me.</p>

<p>But I think you can only "automatically" switch within the same school. If you're interested in changing schools you should contact an advisor soon.</p>

<p>Can you declare your major in another school(if you are in CAS) after freshman?
How difficult would that be?I want to study communication but Im undecided people in CAS. Any advice?</p>

<p>I think going into cinema-television from the outside is tricky/difficult. But otherwise I think all you might have to do is a few courses for that major and then they'll let you in if you do ok.</p>

<p>I've never changed outside of engineering, though, so the safe thing to do is contact the CLAS "undeclared" advisor and ask them.</p>

<p>Yes, you can definitely change your major to another school. At Explore, one student said he changed his major 11 times. I know for Annenberg, all you have to do is fill out a piece of paper and voila! (I'm also in CLAS - for English - and changing to Annenberg during orientation.)</p>

<p>However, many people say that switching to CNTV would be difficult...and I'd imagine that the rigorous 5-year architecture program might not be a good idea either. But seeing as how I'm an incoming freshman, don't take my word for it. Just call the admissions people. They're really nice.</p>
