<p>I was part of the early batch of acceptances for regular decision, and I got in as an Economics major. I’ve recently started thinking that I would like to enter the international business program, concentrating in Marketing or Finance and Insurance. I had a few questions, namely:
- Can I see if I can change majors before I commit to going to Northeastern?
- Is it extremely unlikely that I will be able to switch? (Does it help that I’m trying to do so now, while it’s still early?)
- Will they look at stats when deciding if they will allow me, or is it more first-come-first-serve?
Any other random insights about the program are welcome, too.</p>
<p>Thanks all in advance!</p>
<p>It’s easy and requires no extra materials. I switched from Biology into Health Science before I committed.
- Log into your MyNEU account
- Click on the Self Service tab(iirc)
- Click on the change of major request link
- Write a very brief explanation as to why you decided to change majors.</p>
<p>It says you’ll get a response in 3 days, but it took longer for me(5 days) because I submitted it over the weekend.</p>
<p>Also, do you know if this is the same for students that want to change college as well? I am planning on transferring from media arts and design to the college of engineering…</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure you would do the same thing, but Engineering is quite competitive. It’s a case by case basis, so it’s possible you will be denied.</p>
<p>Never hurts to try! Good luck.</p>
<p>Thanks bgwhite! I hope I get in :x</p>
<p>Thanks for the info, bgwhite! Did they notify you by e-mail?</p>
<p>Yes, an email was sent to my regular email address, not the NEU email for students.</p>
