Changing Majors in College

If you’ve got a precise plan for how your college experience should go, that's great. With a sense of vision that's strong, you’ll be sure to succeed in college. For those of us with a less than concrete plan, have no fear, college can be just the place for you, as well.

Over the course of a college career a lot will change. Friend groups will shuffle, passions might fade, and along with that, our professional goals may shift as well. But that’s the beauty of it all. That’s why we relish the experience. The personal growth makes it all worth it.

College is a place where you’ll be pushed to work hard. You’ll definitely enjoy yourself in the process, but it is a rigorous institution. One of the things that seperates Lehigh University from many other universities is the culture around changing majors in college.

Here at Lehigh, a prospective chemist might find himself studying English, and a diehard business student could find herself interested in industrial engineering. That’s okay. Anyone who goes to college will grow. At Lehigh, we embrace that change. Here, you’ll be given the latitude to evolve as a person.

The idea of changing majors in college might seem daunting, but don’t let it frighten you, especially as a Lehigh student. No one truly knows how your interests will develop in these four years. Embrace that possibility for change, and join us at Lehigh where we pride ourselves in giving students the space to grow.
