The university that I currently attend offers Electrical and Computer Engineering and the programs are very similar except for a few different courses. I am in my sophomore year and I changed my major from computer science to EE. I was thinking I would Major in EE and minor in CS, but my advisor feels I should just major in Comp Engineering since I already have a little knowledge. However, the CE program is relatively new so it's not accredited as of yet. I really changed my major because I didn't want to limit myself to computers. But my advisor says the same jobs an EE can get a CE can get. How true is this? And what should I do major in Electrical Eng and Minor in Computer Science or should I just major in Comp. Eng.Should I major in computer engineering if the program is not accredited? How important is accreditation?
If you want to go to some really high rated grad school it is important. As long as your school has ABET accredited engineering programs, the individual department accreditation is not that important. The most important thing is passing the PE when your done. But major in EE because its in demand. With EE you can still be a computer engineer anyway.Should I major in computer engineering if the program is not accredited? How important is accreditation?
I'm a EE and your adviser is quite wrong. CS is primarily programing and sometimes some VHDL logic design. I do transistor level circuit design for a pretty large company and of the 25 people in my department, there is not one CS. EE can do CS stuff but the reverse is not true. Also, stay away from something without accreditation.
Added --- The PE in the US is only needed if you want to do independent consulting. Industry doesn't care about it.
I would major in EE with no minor. I am a CHEG major and it seems like a better major at this time. Although having a PE will be a great career goal four years into your career passing your EIT before you graduate will put you above all of your job competition. I wish I would have taken my EIT my senior year. Some schools require it to graduate.

How do you go about telling your parents that you don't want to become a doctor anymore and changing majors?
Sit them down and show them you've done valid research and explain why you would be happier with the other major/career...How do you go about telling your parents that you don't want to become a doctor anymore and changing majors?
just tell them and explain why and what u want to do inplace of becoming a doctorHow do you go about telling your parents that you don't want to become a doctor anymore and changing majors?
Just tell them. You're grown up, they're grown up, they'll understand.
Unless you're changing to Psychology, talk about walking in circles.

To major in Business Management, how good do you have to be at math?
I am not that great, I took my placement test and got a 60.. I got a 98 on the English part though but ironically I hate writing.
Should I change my major, or will I be manage without being good at math (no pun intended haha)??To major in Business Management, how good do you have to be at math?
undergraduate business is not challenging at all in any area, except for one.
you will have so much free time (relative to other majors) you will likely get distracted.
the math is simple. most business students don't even breach into the realm of calculus 3.
if you dont plan on hanging out with friends, drinking, or whatever you're whole undergraduate career; getting high grades shouldn't be challenging for the most unintelligible people.
study, you'll be fine.To major in Business Management, how good do you have to be at math?
Business Management will require some math skills. Notably, accounting and statistics. I would also expect you to have to take something up to possible pre-calculus.
You dont have to be a genius at math to be a business major, there is some, and most of it has to do with your understanding of how to apply a specific approach to a problem versus being a whiz at math per se.
You will be fine
I am not that great at maths and I am majoring in Business Administration so you will be just fine. The maths is not that bad at all.

If you want to change your major in college..?
do you waste money? and how muchIf you want to change your major in college..?
Nope, as far as I know you would only waste money if by changing your major you had to do an extra semester to fulfill all your requirements, in which case you would waste however much a semester at your school costs, + housing, etc. It depends on a lot of things, like when you decide to change it, and what your school and major in particular requires, but a lot of people are able to change majors without having to take an extra semester.If you want to change your major in college..?
It depends on how different the two majors are, and whay fields they are bith in-You should talk to your advisor about what your options are-Good Luck
That depends on the price of the classes. If, say, 10 classes that you've already taken don't apply to your new major and each class costs $1000 then you've wasted $10,000.

I want to go into optometry but I'm a communications major?
Hi there. I'm a community college transfer student (2nd year) and I'm applying to the UCs (UCLA and Berkeley) as a communications major...I've worked toward that for the past year or two, but I've realized from my brother (who's an optometrist) that I want to go into optometry.
I know that you can major in anything and still apply for optometry school, but how does that work? I know I have to finish a series of courses (general chem, organic chem, general bio, etc.), but I haven't even completed those yet. Where and when could I finish them? At another community college? Could I finish those requirements before I graduate? What are my options?
Would majoring in communications set me back from going the optometry route? I would try to change my major, but the UCs have a cap of 90 semester units in order to apply as a transfer student...I won't be able to transfer as anything else besides communications without going beyond the unit cap.
Help!I want to go into optometry but I'm a communications major?
I suggest you talk to an advisor. You can take some of the requirements at your community college, but you have to make sure that the credits will transfer. Definitely talk to an advisor though and you will need to complete those courses and take a standardized test. You could also ask your brother for some advice.
And I don't think that majoring in communications has set you back too much. You may need to do another year of undergrad and take some courses over the summer so you don't overload yourself, but you can do it.

stay the course but focus on taking additional science courses. although I'm a bit confused (or just ignorant) -- is there actually a professional degree for optometry? I know that opthalmologists go to medical school, but not sure about optometrists.I want to go into optometry but I'm a communications major?
Hi
I am not familar iwth the UC's cap of 90 semester credits, but if you have to stay a comm major, I would do what you have to do and find a way to take the required science classes as either electives, during the summer, or when you have a semester with a lighter workload.
I would also contact the admissions offices at the optometry schools, especially UC Berkeley's, if that is where you are applying to finish undergrad. Also, look at this website about admission requirements.get ride of my dry skin web design company

If any guy here has tried to make a major career change over his wife's objections, how did it go?
And can you give me any advice on how I can do this?If any guy here has tried to make a major career change over his wife's objections, how did it go?
In my opinion, it never goes well. You don't need her approval, but if she is against it, she can make your life unbearable if you make a major career change without her approving the change!
