I don't know what I want to major in

<p>Chill out and relax stressfulness. You are at the right school and for the time being you are in the right major. Your questions and concerns have come up again and again on this forum. Just search “changing majors” here and read till your heart’s content. For the time being, I will repost an answer that I gave on another thread to someone wanting to change majors before starting school:</p>

I have not heard of any changes in majors granted prior to school starting. However, it is VERY COMMON for students at Cal Poly to change majors and you need to dispense of whatever rumors you are hearing to the contrary. Generally, a student must wait to complete one full quarter in good standing and can then apply for a change. There is a specific reason why major changes are discouraged at Cal Poly. The reason is that the school begins classes in your major in the first week of your freshman year. At a UC you might not get your first class in your major until late in your sophomore or early in your junior year. There is also a specific and clear pathway to change majors. First, changing majors inside a college, for example from Mechanical Engineering to Aerospace Engineering, is far easier than from say Business to Aerospace Engineering which are in different colleges. Nevertheless, it can be done. Here is the pathway to change majors: <a href=“http://www.academicprograms.calpoly.edu/content/academicpolicies/policies-undergrad/change-major[/url]”>http://www.academicprograms.calpoly.edu/content/academicpolicies/policies-undergrad/change-major&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>My son entered as a GENE major and changed to ME with zero difficulty. He had a good GPA after one quarter, met with the head of the ME department, applied for the change, and it was completed electronically after grades came out. In his case it was super easy.

<p>The school understands that you are just 17 and allows you to move around a if needed. Also, a general business degree is NOT useless. It is one of the most marketable that you can get. It is even better with a specialty added. The only thing that will keep you from succeeding is being to stressed stessfulness!</p>
