How hard is it to change your major in college?
How far are you into it? The sooner you change, the less time you will have lost. It's really not that hard, and the loss isn't that much unless you are already about to get a bachelor's. I changed my major from geology to electrical engineering (also completely different) and only lost about 3 courses because some of the ones I had taken count for generals.
Actually, my wife works with a guy who has a bachelors in financing, is working as a microbiologist, and has been accepted to medical school. Changing course isn't as hard as you think. However, I would recommend, if you're getting a degree in business management, having a focus somewhere other than business. Do something technical like computers in addition to the business management - you can even take your pre-med e
xperience into the degree. I think most of the proble
ms in the business world are that there are too many people who only know how to supervise, and not enough people who actually know how to do the work.
How hard is it to change your major in college?
That would not be a change of major (since you already graduated). I know a girl who majored in dance, couldn't get a job, then went on to major in chemistry.
You would have to go to school again for 2-3 years for a second major. It takes maybe 2 years to get all the general education out of the way, and classes that you really wanted to take.
If you did that (even though you can't major in pre-med, you can only have a pre-med track) then worst case scenario: you would lose two years.
Also, I think it would be easier getting good grades in your second major because you would have already gone to college and experienced what it is to be in college.
Now if you're talking about a change of major while IN college, then it's very easy.
If you're in college, you can usually change your major quite easily. But there are some schools where you can't change it easily - NYU is like that.
If you've graduated from college, you can't change your major after graduation. That's not possible.
However, you don't need to actually major in %26quot;pre-med%26quot; in order to get into med school. You can major in business, or art, or history, or anything you'd like, and get into med school. What you do have to do is take the med school pre-req classes, which are a series of specific classes, mostly in science. The pre-med advisor at your college can advise you on what you need to take and when.
But so long as you take those classes, you can major in business from the start. And maybe that's a good way for you to get the best of both worlds?
It is easy to change, you just go to the registrars office and fill out a 'change of major' form. However, it may be a lot more difficult to take all of the required classes for the new major, so it could take a lot more time to fulfill the requirements to graduate for the new major.
it isnt hard..
people change majors at least twice during college
so im pretty sure it isnt hard..
you would probably have 2 c if u meeet the requirements
but other than that
it shouldnt be too hard
talk to your college advisor
some courses should be transferable, but it depends on your college, so check it out.
