CS Change of Major Introduction
The demand for a Computer Science degree is growing and will continue to do so. Since 2013, Georgia Tech has experienced a 388.62% increase in bachelor’s degrees awarded. The demand for computer and information science degrees has increased by 40% since 2018. The combination of the need for computer science graduates plus it being a well-paying career has fueled this demand. Additionally, the top ten ranking of the Georgia Tech computer science degree has increased the demand for a Georgia Tech degree.
Consequently, Georgia Tech decided that new first-year and transfer students who start in Summer 2024 and later could not change their major to Computer Science. The Computer Science department is now prepared to begin accepting Change of Major applications again on a limited basis, which includes students who would like to add Computer Science as a second major.
Since Computer Science is a space-restricted program, the number of applicants accepted each semester depends on the space available in Computer Science.
Students should not assume they will be able to change their major to Computer Science.
Note: this policy is subject to change. Please review this page for any updates that are released.
