\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tYou are not the only student who starts a programme and then realizes it isn\u2019t what you want. And it\u2019s okay to change your mind. The Faculty has compiled a short list of points to consider when thinking about changing your degree. <\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t1. Talk to an academic advisor<\/strong>
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t 
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSpeak to the advisor for the programme you are interested in. He\/she will be able to give you more details about the subject area which can help you determine if it\u2019s the right one for you.
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t <\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t2. Consider your grades and your strengths.<\/strong>
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t 
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDo you prefer working with numbers or are you better at reading and analyzing lengthy texts and papers?
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSome students are good at both, some are better at one over the other.
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIf you dislike working with a lot of numbers for example changing to an Economics or Accounting programme may not be right for you.
