Changing Major Arts to Computer Science

[adil_image]

Just wanted quick info on what are the complications if any to change the major from Arts to Computer Science. My Bachelors degree is "BFA - Bachelor of Fine Arts Photography" and I am here in the US from India to do my Masters in Fine Arts. Its just about a month that I am in the US and started my first semester. Please do let me know the complications now(Changing Major) and later(post graduation)

So, why do you want to change majors all of a sudden, after going through applying at the college, getting accepted after a couple months, and then getting the visa?

You would have to apply to a program in the other field, which in itself likely takes several months.

Your best option is to speak first to the DSO (designated school official) at the school you plan to attend. After that discussion you can post any remaining issue.

No reasonable college would admit a fine arts major into a masters in CS without nearly 3 years of matriculation courses. There is absolutely no way that a fine arts degree qualifies someone in the science of computer technology. If the college says it will, you are likely being taken advantage of because no legitimate employer would consider a BFA as a prerequisite for a MSCS

I kind of got admission in a local college who are giving me an opportunity to change my major but I have to start my course in summer as this is middle of spring.

Now my question is: Do I have to finish my current semester in Arts ? What other options do I have as I would end up finishing and paying for subjects that have no value.

Is your local college accredited? You might have serious problems later on during your GC process.
