From Educational_North384: Changing specilization in 4th year? Unfortunately, I got rejected by all three specializations I applied to in my second year of science. Currently, I have 54 credits. I really want to get into the math/stats major, but the only option available to me now is the Combined Major (3096): Science. Is there any chance for me to change my specialization in my fourth year? Thanks for any suggestions.
You can probably change before your academic fourth year (end of second or third). If you've already taken all the credits to be promoted to fourth year it might not make a lot of sense to change your degree in fourth year and have to worry about taking more courses and hitting credit limits (I would study the academic calendar and maybe talk to an advisor). Of course this depends on what major you're going to be in, especially if it doesn't have a lot of requirements. If it has a lot of requirements it might be a better idea to aim for a combined major between your favoured specialization and your current one, or to do a minor instead.
