If a student is not sure what they are going to major in and start in College of Arts and Science and then end up in the School of Business (as an example), do they have to take the alternate FYE required course as an upper classman? I see that CAS requires UNIV 101 as a requirement, Business School require a different FYE (BAUD 101). So when students change major after freshman year are things like that required? Trying to get a sense of how much “starting over” is required to change colleges. Also different majors require different Math courses and some colleges require a foreign language and others not…concerns me that changing colleges can make graduating in 4 years tough. Would like to hear the experiences of others as well as tips on how to select classes for freshman year when a student really is not sure what they will major in. Thanks!
