Hey, guys I’m a first year student at University of California, Merced. Currently, I’m a Bio Major, and was planning to go to medical school, either becoming a nurse or doctor. As of now, it’s not going for me. I not enjoying my classes especially Biology. I’m still undecided what to major in. So do you guys recommend to go undeclared next semester? Another thing is I was looking at Communication Major. I’m really interested in that. The only thing is UC Merced does not offer that major. Guys, please help me out of what should I do and how to figure what I want major in.
Thanks
How long before you have to declare a major? The first year and actually through 2nd year at a UC, you are mainly taking pre-req and GE classes. I would continue taking more GE classes that you are interested in so you can zero in on another major if Biology is not for you. How about Earth science since many of your Bio classes would fulfill the major requirements? If you are leaning towards a social science, how about Psychology or Sociology? I would try to finish Freshman year, reevaluate your situation and then consider if you need to possibly transfer or continue at UCM.
Thanks for advice. I’m trying to finish my GE classes over the next two years
