<p>This information should be available, but freshman (perhaps guided by parents) may need to make an effort to find it, by reading Web site information and consulting with academic advisors. </p>
<p>In high school, information like this is spoon-fed to students. In college, it may not be.</p>
<p>And in all fairness, you can’t expect a college to read students’ minds. For example, two students who have signed up to major in engineering may have different ideas of what they want to do if engineering doesn’t work out for them. One’s second choice major may be math, while the other’s is business. These students would need to take different courses as freshmen to qualify for their backup majors, but unless they share their backup plans with their academic advisors, the advisors won’t know it.</p>
