It depends on the specific major. Some have acceptance caps and other types of enrollment controls. Theoretically it is easy to transfer from DUS, but you have to be somewhat careful because seats in certain STEM-related classes aren't exactly plentiful.Interesting thread. I have a related question …. It has been recommended that marginal students initially declare themselves DUS and transfer into the more competitive majors later on.
Assuming that a dedicated undergrad takes (and gets good grades) all of the same base/required courses and electives as those officially in a competitive major, is it easy to transfer from DUS into say a STEM program or Nursing/Health?
For this strategy to work, it would seemingly require a number of students to drop-out of these majors during Frosh and Soph years.
Im interested to hear from others that have been successful doing this
In other words--if you enter DUS to ostensibly major in Basket Weaving, it can be done. But when it comes time to switch to Chemical Engineering, you need to meet entrance to major requirements that Basket Weavers wouldn't normally take.
