Colleges with Easy Major Switching Process?

I haven't really nailed down what I want to major in yet. Before I get stuck into something I'm unsure about, I'd like to know what colleges make it easy to change majors?

Absolutely, some schools are definitely more flexible about changing majors than others. This often depends on both the institution's transfer policies and how they separate their schools or colleges internally.

For example, at some universities, if you're admitted into the Business school and later decide you want to switch to the Engineering school, you may have to complete a transfer process that is similar to applying anew to the school. It can require maintaining a certain GPA, application essays, and sometimes another round of recommendation letters.

In comparison, some colleges make it easy for students to change their major. Liberal arts colleges, like Amherst College or Pomona College, typically allow students to explore a range of disciplines before declaring their majors in their second year. Similarly, Brown University operates on an Open Curriculum, which gives students the freedom to take any courses they want, making it easier for students to switch concentrations.

At even larger institutions like Stanford University or University of Pennsylvania, though they have multiple schools and colleges, there's a relative degree of flexibility in changing one's major across disciplines. However, some majors still require you to declare in advance or have pre-requisite courses.

Whether a school allows easy major switching can often be found on their admissions or individual major webpages. I’d suggest shortlisting the schools you're interested in and then looking up their specific major changing policies to meet your needs. Ultimately, I suggest focusing not just on flexibility, but on ensuring the college you choose offers strong programs in your areas of interest.
