How many times did you change your major in college?
I'm majoring in Medicine, and I have never changed my mind once. I have always wanted to become a doctor ever since I was a young girl and I have done everything to make my dream into a reality. I'm in my second year in medical school and if I changed my major I would have to do different A-Levels which would take 2 years and then re-apply to university. I would lose my place at Cambridge and then I would probably end up going to a lower ranked university. I would still have to pay the university fees and I would feel a quitter and my dad would be mad at me for giving up on my dream, so there's just too much to lose. At first I thought about it as medical school is very tough and hard work, and challenging & stressful at times but I have never acted up on it as I know in the long run I will be stronger and becoming a doctor is what I have always wanted to do. I think before you change majors you stay a bit longer to see how you like it and make sure you do your research on the other majors you are considering so you won't waste your time nd you make sure it's the right decision. Good luck x
If you could go back in time and change your college major, would you? If so, from what to what would you change it?
My poor parents. I changed my major almost as often as my underwear - five times during my first week of college. I was attending a small liberal arts college and went through six majors. I settled on psychology. And then, I left that college after my first semester. I had a 4.0, but the powers that be had canceled all of freshman scholarships. I was furious and though my parents had assured me that we could still afford the school, it was the principle of the matter. This was problematic. My parents had a policy that once we were out of high school, we were away at college. Period. It was time to leave the nest. I completed my first two years of college at a local community college in about six month and then off the the University of Florida. I investigated possible majors prior to starting and chose advertising with a minor in sociology and graphic design. It had been one of the original choices and did not require a foreign language nor a lot of math and science. Great reasons to choose a life path. In the course of getting that degree, I was exposed to student personnel and decided that I was going to go to graduate school and pursue a career in that arena. There were, at that time, no undergraduate programs in student personnel. And thus I proceeded. But, in the course of getting that degree, I was required to take a lot of counseling courses which later led to me pursuing further advanced degrees in counseling and then a specialization area. But all of this does not address your question. My parents were pretty free about allowing my sister and I to choose our own paths but were reticent bout either of us becoming teachers. They were not anti-teacher, but recognized the amount of work teaching involved and the poor pay. And teaching elementary school was never on my radar to begin with. As I have pursued all of those wonderful degrees, I have also been involved with children in my church and other arenas and have come to realize that I have a talent to work with children and truly enjoy them. So, if I had it to do all over again, I would have pursued a degree in Elementary Education. I think that noise you just heard was my mother rolling over in her grave.
How many times did you change your major in college?
I couldn’t officially declare a major until junior year, so technically I never dropped a major; I just declared two, and those are the two I completed. However, the full story is more complicated.In high school, I wanted to be an architect, but I was dissuaded and told to not even try. I bought into this very self-limiting notion, so I chose civil engineering, not because I wanted to be a civil engineer, but because it was the closest thing to being an architect. I had a bad experience with physics and a bad experience with calculus, and while ultimately neither had to do with the subject, I thought so at the time, so civil engineering was out when I finished my first semester of college.My second love was microbiology. However, at my institution, microbiology was in the College of Agriculture. I was dissuaded from going into the College of Agriculture. People come up with lots of reasons why others shouldn’t do things. I never even studied microbiology again.By the end of freshman year, I had taken some lit courses and decided I loved lit. I still do. I started in Comparative Literature, but I couldn’t deal with French anymore (this was entirely on me), so I switched to English. I later added history because I loved it, too, and because it made sense to double-major at my institution to satisfy other degree requirements. I graduated with these majors and am now a professor of computer science. Your college major does not define who you are or who you will be. It’s great to know what you want to study (obviously, I had to do some backtracking to make such a leap), but the idea that you will know your future (or even could) at ages 18–22 is asinine.Good luck!

How hard is it to change majors in college?
It's no big deal. Usually even easy. When you are accepted into a university or college, just let them know what you would rather study instead. Unless it is a competitive program, it should not be a problem. You will just be assigned a new advisor in the area you wish to major in. Some schools don't make you "declare" your major until you are a junior. A lot of people change majors several times during their college years and some wind up attending extra years to fulfill all the course requirements for their new majors. You usually don't get to take many classes in your major the first year and since you haven't registered anywhere yet or paid for any courses, you don't even have to "pay" for your change of plans.
When is the best time to change my major?
Preferably before you enter junior year so that you have enough time to fulfill all the requirements and graduate in 4 years.
Changing my major before college starts?
Go ahead and switch it, it shouldn't be a problem. In fact, after the first week of school, lots of people will be switching their classes just because they don't like it, before its too late. I'm surprised you can't just change it yourself? Most colleges allow you to change them yourself online. I find biology much more fascinating than political science courses btw! Although, I am a science major myself, declared Chemistry. By switching to the classes you want now, it will help you decide on what you want to do later on in life, if biology interests you, why not take the class now :)! Btw I also advise to major in something very general, rather than something very specialized, it will give you much more opportunities and you could always specialize later down the road with a masters or Ph.D! Thats why I choose chemistry, it is a great major and will give me very good general knowledge to help me with my possible career in forensic science. It also gives me great background and plenty of options if I wanted to specialize in something later. Perhaps specialize in something like medicinal chemistry.
Can I change my major in middle of college semester?
Yes, you can change your major at any point in time. Unless you are willing to take a hit to your transcript, I would not recommend dropping the courses you are already taking. Do your best in these classes and start fresh with the requirements for your new major next semester. In some cases, required courses overlap. If you are a freshman or sophomore, it is likely that the classes you are taking now are simply prerequisites and will count towards the new major. I changed my major three times while in college and I was still able to graduate on time and without any problems.
