How hard is it to change majors in college?

I applied for a certain major for college but now I want to change it. I haven't even gotten letters back from all the schools I applied to yet. Do you think I can change majors before I even attend the school or do I have to wait for a period of time?

It's no big deal. Usually even easy. When you are accepted into a university or college, just let them know what you would rather study instead. Unless it is a competitive program, it should not be a problem. You will just be assigned a new advisor in the area you wish to major in. Some schools don't make you ';declare'; your major until you are a junior.



A lot of people change majors several times during their college years and some wind up attending extra years to fulfill all the course requirements for their new majors. You usually don't get to take many classes in your major the first year and since you haven't registered anywhere yet or paid for any courses, you don't even have to ';pay'; for your change of plans.How hard is it to change majors in college?
You pretty much always have to meet with an academic advisor before you enroll. So just tell that person- they fix ya up!
I wouldn't worry about it until you get there unless you applied for a specific program (medicine, nursing, etc.). Universities don't expect their students to settle on a major until their sophomore year of college. Don't stress over this. Also, if you are not even accepted into the school yet, they don't have you in their system in a way that this will impact your school career. They are just trying to gauge how much interest from new students there is for the different departments so they can work on budgets and such. It is not a big deal. Good luck with college!
Once you've heard back from your schools, you choose one, and begin attending, you can change your major at any time. Most schools don't expect you to be sure about your major your first year. No worries.
It should be easy. Most colleges ask for your ';intended'; major. Many students change majors. They shouldn't be upset.
you can change your major any time you want. but sometimes you need minimum gpa require to change the particular major.
