The college (L&S, engineering, chemistry, natural resources, environmental design) affects admission selectivity. Specific major within engineering affects selectivity (supposedly EECS, bioengineering, and engineering undeclared are the most selective).

Changing to another major within engineering is described here:

Changing to L&S is described here:

Some L&S majors are “capped” (enrollment) and require a higher than 2.0 GPA in their prerequisites:

(for some reason, they have not updated CS and statistics as “capped” majors in this list)
