CSULB is an impacted campus with highly competitive admissions among a large pool of qualified applicants. Given that transfer admission is based on meeting major specific admission requirements, and that students must abide by University policy for timely progress to degree, the assumption is that transfer students have applied to a major they are interested in, and as such the University strongly discourages students from considering a change in major. However, we do understand that transfer students may wish to pursue a change in major in rare circumstances. If the student qualifies by meeting all MSDR requirements in the new major, demonstrates a progressively successful academic history that reflects potential success in the new major, and the program currently has seats available to accommodate additional students, the request may be considered on a case-by-case basis. Please be aware that requests are reviewed by the college of the potential new major, and the final decision is determined at the college-level associated with the requested new major
