<p>He changed to CS/computer science. And yes, he will still be able to graduate in 4 years, provided he passes everything the first time, and gets all the classes he needs during registration. It’s true, the 10 undergrad business classes, it is a big investment of time, to not be able to use. So, you can say the 8 undergrad business classes he took freshman and fall of sophomore, are not all wasted. Some do fall into gen ed’s and you do need a certain amount of elective/non gen eds to graduate. </p>
<p>But if he would have continued to try to get in, say repeating classes and whatever in spring of sophomore year, he would have wasted a lot more time. </p>
<p>So, you have to kinda be honest with yourself, and know when something is just not gonna work. </p>
<p>He really likes CS, and I would now say business was probably not a good choice for him, to begin with. But, like all freshman, he felt pressure to go in with a major, and he chose business/acct. because it is a very lucrative field, not really considering if it was something he was interested in.
We both do not have any anger at JMU because of this situation, we both love the school, and we do realize it was his responsibility to achieve what was necessary, to get in to the business school, and also realize that if you cannot do well enough in the 10 undergrad business classes, you probably should not continue in the major, anyway. </p>
<p>So, now I think he is on the right track, is doing well, and it all worked out for the best.</p>
