Im going to a different college this year and was planning on doing aviation flight science. However, I have started to change my mind because it is a lot of money to fly and i am not sure ill be able to afford it. I was going to change my major to computer science or computer engineering, and apply to the coast guard academy next year. Would it be possible for me to, if i got accepted, switch my major from computer science to aviation at USCGA?
Thank you!
If you haven’t already, I recommend reading every page, dropdown and link at USCGA.edu. Here’s a place to start: the majors available at USCGA.

By researching the primary source, you will understand the difference between undergraduate academic major and commissioned career field.
And, no matter how much college you have under your belt, you start as a freshman at a Service Academy. You may be able to test out of certain courses or into an advanced section, but I am not as familiar with USCGA practice in that area.[/QUOTE
So i would have to major in something else, like engineering? How would they train to become a pilot? I understand now that they are different things, but if i was aiming to become a pilot, would I eventually be trained in that or no?
