Question for all you knowledgable folks out there - maybe Clarkson could weigh in?
My son, a contracted MSII, is considering a major change from Microbiology with a Human Health concentration (adm 3) to Anthropology (ADM 1). When he chose his major as a senior in HS, he was strongly considering medical school. He is no longer planning on that, the major is very difficult and intense, and really doesn't reflect his interests any longer. The major change will not impact his graduation/commission date.
According to 145-1, contracted scholarship cadets are permitted to change ADM
1 time only. It then goes on to say that Nursing, Engineering and 4 year national scholarship winners lose their scholarship if changing ADM.
My son was awarded a 4-yr scholarship on campus, not through the national award process.
His cadre think his major change much be approved by Brigade due to the ADM change, and have told him his chances of approval are low. I am positive I remember reading that Brigade approval was only required for class of '16 and beyond, but I could be imagining it.
Can anyone point to the reg that clearly states the requirements for class of '15 (last year's MS1s), or help us interpret the 145-1 that we located online? He would really like to be able to take a copy of the reg to his cadre to discuss this further, if I am remembering correctly.
Thanks for the help!
