You can change the colleges and prerequisites as much as you want, since they are likely only a human construction (and, even if they are based on fundamental laws of reality within a setting, there will be overlap). In fact, the only reason why colleges and prerequisites really matter is because of ritual magic (Colleges being the secondary skills of ritual magic and prerequisite counts giving a skill penalty). Other than that, they are just themes of a setting.
