My son just completed his first semester at A&M Corpus Christi in the PSA program - got a 4.0!. The PSA program is somewhat restrictive in what major you can select - he selected Economics. He was hoping once he got to A&M (next fall, or soon thereafter) that he would be able to switch majors to finance.
Finding out that it may not be possible to transfer from the PSA program into Mays, unless he transfers out of PSA program for at least one semester to another school, gets his Acct 229 and 230 (which he would not be able to take at A&M as an ECON major), then transfers back. Admissions say they only take 100 transfers - so even then it's tough.
I don't think the PSA program has been around very long, but does anyone else have any experience or success trying to switch majors from PSA program?
For current or recent A&M Econ majors - What are job prospects if he stays and gets his degree in Econ at A&M?
UPDATED POST
My son is now a Jr ECON major and has a 3.93 GPA at A&M (completed freshman yr at A&M Corpus - made all A's there).
He is still very interested in investment banking and is thinking of applying for the MS Finance Program which is an accelerated program designed for Econ and STEM students.
Anyone with experience with this program that can provide some feedback, especially what job prospects were like after completing
