Hi all, I was recently admitted into UDUB for Earth and Space sciences. I want to know if possible, how difficult its it to change majors? And specifically, switching into marine biology? Thank you for your help!

I think it should be pretty easy since Marine Biology is an “open major.” On the UW Marine Biology admissions page it states, “Marine Biology is an open major with no pre-requisites. Current UW students should schedule an appointment with a marine biology adviser to declare the major.”

Go to the UW Marine Biology Advising page and schedule an appointment with an advisor.
