1, performance requirements
Students need to achieve excellent results in the course during their school years, which generally requires them to reach 65,438+00% before the professional grade or meet certain requirements in GPA. This is because changing majors is a challenge in itself, which requires students to have high learning ability and adaptability, and grades are an important indicator of students' learning ability and hard work. Performance requirements are also an important basis for schools to examine whether students meet the conditions for changing majors.
2. Subject requirements
Some majors have requirements for pre-disciplines. For example, if you want to transfer to a computer major, the pre-discipline needs to be a major in mathematics or physics. This is because some majors need to have certain subject background and basic knowledge, so that students can better adapt to the new learning environment and requirements. Students need to know the pre-discipline requirements before changing majors to determine whether they meet the requirements of changing majors.
3. Opportunity limitation
Some schools limit the number of major changes, usually only once or twice. This is to encourage students to choose their interested majors from the beginning, reduce the randomness and frequency of changing majors, and ensure the teaching order and quality of the school. Before changing majors, students need to understand the restrictions of the school on the opportunity to change majors, so as to avoid losing the opportunity to change majors because of exceeding the number of times.
Disadvantages of changing majors:
1, the learning pressure increases.
Changing majors means that students need to re-adapt to the new learning environment and requirements, which may increase the learning pressure. The new major may have more courses and academic requirements, and students need to pay more time and energy to study and adapt. Changing majors may also lead to changes in students' social circles and the need to re-establish social relations, which may also cause certain psychological pressure on students.
2. Postpone graduation time
Changing majors may require students to choose new courses or make up classes, which may lead to the delay of graduation. If the courses that students have taken before changing majors cannot be transferred to new majors, they need to take these courses again, which will waste time and energy. Some schools may charge extra fees for students who change majors, which will also increase students' financial burden.
3, affect the original professional development.
Changing majors may affect students' development in the original major. If students perform well in the original major, or have participated in activities or projects related to the original major, changing majors may hinder the development of students in the original major. Changing majors may also require students to give up scholarships, grants and other preferential measures, which will also affect students' economic situation.
