<p>You can knock out some of the courses you need for exercise biology during your first quarter–here are the requirements for the Exercise Biology major: <a href=“http://registrar.ucdavis.edu/UCDWebCatalog/programs/NPB/NPBreqt.html[/url]”>http://registrar.ucdavis.edu/UCDWebCatalog/programs/NPB/NPBreqt.html</a>. You do not have to take courses for your current major.</p>
<p>And yes, it can be done in no time. One of my suitemates changed from majoring in Biological Sciences with an emphasis in Biochemistry, to majoring in Animal Science. Once you get your change of major petition signed and submitted, generally, it takes around 3 weeks for the system to reflect changes (but you’d still be in the exercise biology program regardless of the wait since you’ve already got the form filled out).</p>
