A few questions about transferring within Northwestern, and Kellogg certificates

I like Northwestern a lot, and I think it would be my first choice if I were to somehow get accepted and the financial aid was enough, but the thing that makes me wary is having to apply directly to one school within Northwestern. I don’t really know what I want to do yet, but the three main programs that interest me are all in three different school. (Econ, Journalism, Engineering). Ideally I would like to be able to take a year to try to figure out what I want to do so I have a couple questions.


How hard is it to transfer between schools at Northwestern?
How far would it set me back if I were to change schools after a quarter, semester or even a year? Is the first year mostly just gen eds?
I think regardless of which major I did I would want to do a Kellogg certificate. I know it is common among economics students, but would I still be able to do the program if I were in engineering? Would it still have the same impression on employers in the business field if combined with engineering as if it were combined with economics?
