I this possible? (American University in Beirut)

Probably the wrong forum but I didn't know where else to post this, anyways:

I got accepted into one of the top Arab/American university called american university in beriut, I was meant to take biology as pre-med but apparently I was a bit late and got accepted in for physics. I still want to do my pre-med and go to AUB. My parents keep telling me that I can change my major within the first few weeks / semester. Is this true, I mean if I didn't get accepted in the beginning why would now be any different.

Thank you for any help.

Edit: Thread title should be: Is instead of I.

Given that its run on an American basis, major-changing should be possible so long as the necessary courses are not oversubscribed.

And by over-subscribed you mean all the seats are filled?

Yeah you most probably will have to fill in a petition for it during the year. It all depends of availability of places and your grades(but since you haven't even started yet that part doesn't concern you.). But anyway try to get advised from the uni itself. People change majors all the time... Enjoy Beirut! :biggrin:

American University in Beirut is THE best school in the Middle East. Or so many people say.

I just came back from AUC, AUB's great Egyptian rival. :smile:

Since AUB uses an essentially American system, I guess changing a major is quite possible. Everyone does it.

If your choose Beirut in the end, have a great time and enjoy your degree in Lebanon!

i think you can manage to change your major... AUB is a great university and i think it would be possible but what you should do is ask the Uni

I think you will find better information on arab student forums.

Ah dude, you're the guy who wrote me a PM right? I replied, did you not get it?

But yeh, I am enjoying it, the Middle Eastern Studies Department is really good, I'm learning Arabic and the teacher is really gd :smile:

Plus Beirut is a wkd city. Really interesting for me particularly in the first few weeks, as I came out pretty much cold, not knowing what to expect. It's an incredible, liberal culture, really kl on campus too.

Peace x
