My son accepted for History major at UC Davis (Fall 2024). He’s wondering the way of changing his major (History) to Civil Engineering or Landscape Architecture. Does anyone have any suggestion? Thank you for your advice!!
He should be able to change his major if the major isn’t full he just needs to receive approval from the department that he’s leaving and the department that he’s entering.
From Davis’s website:
“Students planning to declare or change their degree type, declare a major, change their major, or add an additional major are required to complete a Change of Major webform. The Change of Major webform is submitted to the appropriate advisors and dean’s offices involved. If you need to declare a degree type or change of major, submit the major change petition to your dean’s office at least one quarter prior to the quarter in which you filed to graduate.”

Civil Engineering is in the College of Engineering. There’s some specific information about the requirements for changing to COE majors here, under “How do I change my major into the COE as a freshman admit?”: Advising FAQs | College of Engineering
Landscape Architecture is in the College of Ag & ES. I don’t see specific requirements listed for changing to CAES majors here, it looks like it may be straightforward as long as there is space and you are in good academic standing: The Major | College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences
The student may also want to contact the individual departments or college advising offices to double check.
