Mike: Oh, it’s no problem at all. I know just what it’s like, moving from a small town into a big city, like this. And starting college is a real change.
Alex: I don’t really know what I want to major in, but I saw a huge line for undecided majors, so I just picked something for the record. The lines were much shorter in the English department.
Mike: So what classes are you taking this semester?
Alex: I have a biology class that sounds real interesting – it’s called eco-logy, society and evolution.

Samon: Yes, I’m majoring in chemical engineering.
Dr. Williams: Oh yes, here’s the form. And what do you want to change to?
Samon: Business. It’s not because engineering is hard, though, Dr. Williams. I’ve finished all the math courses already. I just like the business courses I’m taking.
Dr. Williams: Well, you have eighteen hours in engineering, Samon, and only six hours in business. And the problem is you don’t need any more electives, so the eighteen hours in engineering will be extra work for you on your program. I just don’t have any place to put them except under additional electives.
Samon: I see. So how much longer will it take me to graduate if I change to business?
Dr. Williams: One semester, full time. You’ll have to take twelve hours of business courses that term including accounting.
Samon: That’s okay. I really want to do this.
