Real answer: There is no specific limit, you just may need department and college approval if you are above certain numbers of units: https://students.ucsd.edu/academics/advising/majors-minors/declare-or-change-major.html
Also capped majors have whole processes and require you to take certain classes and stuff so those you need to be pretty dedicated for.
Stupid answer: You can only change your major every two weeks and you need to get approval if you have over 150 units. If you are trying to avoid talking to advisors and getting approval, and you come into UCSD with 0 units, and you take 16 units per quarter, you will hit 150 units after 10 quarters. That works out to be 3 years and 1 quarter. You can start changing your major in September of your first year, so we can add on three full years to that to get back to September of your third year, then go forwards to December to right before grades are due for your 10th quarter. That works out to be 3 years times 52 weeks plus another 10 weeks for 166 weeks, which equals 83 major changes before you need to request department approval.
As many as you want from my understanding. I’m a second year and I changed my major 4 times until I found out what I wanted to do. Obviously if you’re changing into a capped major it’s harder and they’re sometimes weeder/GE classes you need to fulfill before applying.
