My DS has been accepted to UConn in the Mech Eng program. Since MA state schools do not offer a Materials Eng program, MA residents may take it at UConn at reduced tuition. It is a substantial amount (about 11K cheaper than OOS tuition). I looked at the courses for the 2 programs and for freshman year there is only 1 course difference (1 program has a chem course and the other program has a physics course during the 2nd semester).

Would it be unethical to sign him up for Materials Eng as a Freshman and then have him transfer to Mech eng as a sophomore? Would it be tough to transfer into the Mech Eng program?
