BRDD students have changed their majors at RISD.  Most often this occurs between their "soft" declaration in the spring semester of the first year and their re-declaration in the spring semester of the second year.  The feasibility of changing a major is really dependent upon when the student makes the change, what major a student is switching from and into, and the number of requirements the student has remaining to complete their Brown degree.   Similarly, the feasibility of changing a student's Brown concentration depends.  Requirements towards Brown concentrations range, with some concentrations requiring 9 courses and others more than 20.  The feasibility of changing a concentration is also really dependent upon when the student makes the change, what concentration a student is switching from and into, and the number of requirements the student has remaining to complete their RISD degree.  At both RISD and Brown, some areas of study require specific attention to sequencing of courses and some courses are only offered in certain semesters.  Changing a major or concentration requires close advising and may or may not be possible.  Students in the Brown|RISD Dual Degree Program must complete their degrees over a period of 10 semesters or 5 years.
