Good news about UM is that it is not very difficult to transfer between schools as it is just a matter of moving your “file” between the departments. So for example, if you are in nursing and what to move to business, it is just an internal transfer of your file from nursing to business and you don’t need to reapply to the school of business, etc… Same if you want to move from business to engineering- again, you do not need to apply to the engineering school but instead your “file” is just moved to the new department. I am sure I am oversimplifying this as I am sure you need Dean’s permissions etc… but at least you do not need to do any formal application as you would need to do at many schools. For example, at BC if you are in liberal arts and want to change to business, you need to file a whole new application as if you were a transfer student and you may not be accepted! Good Luck.
