Can I transfer from a different school to UMD with a different major?

I have applied to other colleges thinking that if I get in the others, I could transfer to Maryland’s journalism major in a year or so. What I forgot about is, if the major is labeled differently, will I still be able to apply and get into the journalism college?

For example, If I go to Frostburg State and major in Mass Communications, will I still be able to transfer to Maryland and major in journalism? Or does it have to be the specific major? I’ve looked everywhere online and I can’t find an answer, although I haven’t talked to the admissions office yet.
