First, why do you say that universities should never change their majors? 202 1 reference
This statement is very one-sided, because different universities have different difficulties and requirements for changing majors. If you can transfer from a very unpopular major to computer major and business major, then it is definitely worth transferring. If the reason is "don't change your major", I can think of the following questions that you should consider before changing your major:
1. Identify your real favorite major.
You must have great interest in the major you want to change, and make sure that you can stick to it in the new major. This is the most important prerequisite.
Before choosing a major to transfer to, you can ask the students of this major in cut class to find out the training direction and future development of the major and what courses you need to study. It is convenient for you to prepare in advance.
2. There are many procedures
Changing majors requires credit recognition, and it is more troublesome to run in the academic affairs office of the college and the academic affairs office of the school Moreover, after changing majors, the usual place of class may change, and the distance from the dormitory to the teaching building may be remote. At this time, we should continue to consider changing dormitories or getting up early.
3. Restrictions of school policies
Most schools will have a major transfer assessment (written test+interview), and finally decide whether they can transfer according to the average grade point average and other factors. This means that changing majors has to compete with others, especially those popular majors, and the competition will be even greater.
Of course, there are also some school policies that stipulate that the score of the college entrance examination for changing majors should not be higher than that of the admitted majors, otherwise you can't directly change majors.
4. Handling of interpersonal relationships
After successfully changing majors, it means that you have to change classes and study, and you need to reintegrate into a new group. If you want to change your dormitory, you have to contact a new roommate. In addition, I have feelings with my former roommates, but some students are different. It is too easy to deal with these relationships.
5. Courses
Before changing majors, there will be requirements for grade points. Generally speaking, a major can only transfer a few places, which is more difficult. On the other hand, it will bring academic pressure and some economic pressure to make up for the new professional courses after successfully changing majors.
Generally speaking, you need to think twice before changing your major. You should not only be prepared in advance, but also be prepared for a protracted war.
Second, what are the requirements for the university to change majors?
Generally speaking, there are three requirements for a university to change majors:
The first category, the simplest: you can basically change your major at will, and the threshold is extremely low. As far as I know, China Agricultural University and University of Science and Technology of China are such models.
The second type, the most common: the average GPA in the first year or last semester of freshman is in the top 30% or 20% of the major, and the opportunity to change majors will be given. At the same time, professional assessment and average GPA will be used to decide whether you can transfer. This has hard requirements for grade points and self-study ability.
The third category, the most stringent: the score of the college entrance examination to major cannot be higher than the admission major (major), or it cannot be directly transferred to major.
Generally speaking, different schools have different requirements for changing majors. Before changing majors, even before entering the exam, candidates can have a detailed understanding of the school's policies to facilitate the follow-up work.
