It is possible to change your program of study from Mechanical Engineering to Data Science after you have enrolled in a university, but this will depend on the policies of the specific university and program.
In some cases, universities may allow students to switch between programs within the same department or school, as long as they meet the prerequisites and requirements for the new program. However, switching to a completely different department or school may be more difficult and require additional coursework or qualifications.
Before you apply to a university, I recommend that you research the specific programs and departments that interest you and check their policies regarding changing programs of study. You may also want to reach out to admissions officers or academic advisors at the universities you are considering to ask about their policies and any potential restrictions.
Additionally, keep in mind that Data Science is a highly specialized field, and some programs may have specific prerequisites or requirements that you may need to fulfill before being accepted. This may include coursework in computer science, statistics, or other related fields. Therefore, you may want to consider taking some relevant courses or gaining experience in Data Science before applying to these programs.
It is also important to note that switching programs can have an impact on your graduation timeline and academic progress. Depending on the programs and the credits you have already completed, switching to a new program may result in additional coursework, delayed graduation, or additional costs. Therefore, it is important to carefully consider your academic goals and interests before selecting a program of study and to plan accordingly if you decide to switch programs.
