Here is another situation that I hope CC can solve.

A friend that is also a philosophy major (I am one) is transferring to a UC or CSU by the Fall. However, she is not into philosophy (never really was, just wanted to get into a UC easily) and now that she is transferring, she plans on declaring a different major when she gets there.

I imagine that the UC isn't going to be too thrilled about it. I know how you have to complete a certain number of classes in your major, all of the pre-req's.

She wants to change it to "marketing" (I need to mention that she has no idea that UCLA, her #1 choice, has no such thing as a 'marketing' degree, in fact, no UC does...).

The most difficult math she has taken is statistics. She could change to a Business Economics major, but there are thousands of those and she is seriously behind when it comes to pre-req's.

Anyway, what I am trying to ask is what she is trying to do, changing her major after she gets to whatever UC, even possible?
