[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Students can switch to humanities degrees from any of these schools, if they realize engineering isn't right for them.  All have strong liberal arts colleges too.[/quote]

Not always true.  Many schools have minimum GPAs to transfer, and the tough grading in engineering can stop that.[/quote]

[b]OP was talking about switching majors within the same school if they decide engineering is not right for them. Not transferring. [/quote]

They are correct. Many colleges within a university have minimum GPA requirements and other hoops to jump. It’s called an intra-university transfer. My kid did it from UVA engineering to UVA Arts & Sciences. Here are the min requirements. https://college.as.virginia.edu/admission-and-transfer-college-arts-and-sciences[/quote]

DP.  Extremely low bar for transferring within that school.  Anyone with a pulse would have no issues switching.
“In order to be admitted to the College from another UVA school, you must satisfy all of the College's criteria for Good Standing:
Your semester GPA must be at least 1.8.
You must pass at least 12 graded credits.
You may not have more than one grade below a C-.
You must also have a cumulative GPA of at least 2.0”[/quote]
