Hi! I'm an incoming freshman and I'm having second thoughts about the major I selected on my college application. Is it possible to change my major before my freshman year starts or do I have to wait until I arrive on campus? Any guidance would be helpful. Thank you!
Hello there! It's absolutely normal to have second thoughts about your major before starting college. In most cases, you can change your major before your freshman year starts. Often, you aren't required to even declare a major until the end of sophomore year.
That being said, the process may vary depending on the college you'll be attending. I would suggest reaching out to your college's academic advising or admissions office to inquire about their specific process for changing majors. It might be as simple as an email or filling out a form.
Always double-check with your school as each institution may have different policies and procedures. Good luck and I hope this helps!
