They're both schools that don't offer a PhD, and thus they are not on that list. However, Rose Hulman is Top 2 and Cal Poly SLO is in the Top 5 in their catagory.

To address an earlier concern (from last year, I believe) about "impacted" majors such as at Berkeley....another school with this issue is University of Illinois. GREAT engineering school, but it has the drawback of making it difficult to change majors, even within engineering. You have to apply and be accepted to the new major, and if you want to change to a major that is oversubscribed, you're out of luck.

At most schools, it's just a matter of filling out paperwork and welcome to your new major.

And I recall seeing a list of the "top 5" CS schools (not sure who compiled it) and IIRC the top 5 were MIT, Caltech, Carnegie-Mellon?, maybe Stanford?, and U of Illinois (UIUC) was definitely #5.

Apart from UIUC, what other schools make it difficult to change majors?
