Is it easy to shift majors at Southwest Baptist University once admitted? If anyone has any experience with this, could you please share? I'm thinking of going in undeclared and would like to explore a bit before I settle on a major.
Absolutely, choosing a major can be a big decision and it's okay to take some time to explore your options. When it comes to changing majors at Southwest Baptist University, it seems to be a student-friendly process. While specifics can of course vary slightly by department, generally you would need to consult with your academic advisor to discuss the change and its implications for your academic plan, including potential impacts on your graduation timeline. If you decide to proceed with the change, your advisor can guide you through any necessary paperwork or formal approvals needed.
One point to consider when going in undeclared: some majors have more rigid sequences of courses or prerequisite requirements than others, meaning they might take longer to complete if you declare them later in your academic career. This could potentially extend your time in college, so it's something to be aware of as you explore different paths.
I’d recommend taking a variety of general education courses your first year to expose yourself to potential areas of interest. Also, make sure to utilize resources like academic advisors, career counseling services, and professors to help guide your decision. It’s great you’re open to exploring your options – college is a wonderful time for self-discovery!
