[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC is a hs senior who was just accepted into JMU as a communications major.

They are now considering changing their major to business, specifically Marketing.

Anyone have a kid who did this? I saw online that you just need certain grades and to take certain core courses, especially business math courses, but wondering if they somehow restrict the major like at other schools, and if anyone has a kid who has recently done this at JMU and how hard it was.

Your child isn’t bound by whatever major they expressed on their application. They were admitted into the university, not a specific undergrad college. They don’t officially declare until later. So take the business classes and get the required grades, and they can do business. [/quote]

This is true, but their academic advisor won't be in the Business School. This matters because when DS couldn't get into a business pre-requisite this semester, his advisor sent him an override code to get into the full class. Your DC will be left hanging otherwise. [/quote]

Advisors aren’t assigned until you declare a major, which you don’t do until after you enroll. The major you indicate on your application doesn’t matter. So the OP’s son can declare business at that time and get an advisor in the business school. [/quote]
