<p>Right now, I'm a senior in High School. I will graduate in June of 2013. I'm planning to attend Queens College in the fall. At Queens College, I plan to major in Secondary/Adolescent Education - English. I plan to attend Queens College for just 2 years and just stick with that major. Towards the end of my 2nd year in college, I plan to transfer out of Queens College into Fordham University. If I do get accepted into Fordham University, I plan to change the major that I had from Queens College. Instead of majoring in Secondary/Adolescent Education -English, I plan to double major in Theology&Medieval History in my 3rd & 4th year while I'm at Fordham University. I don't mind taking summer classes to complete this. But, Is it possible that I can graduate with the class of 2017? If I don't graduate with the class of 2017, then in how many years will I be able to graduate with just my bachelor's degree. My plan in life is to be ultimately be a professor in the Theology/Medieval History field at Fordham University. I understand that I'll have to take an graduate degree. However, once I graduate with my bachelor's degree, I need a job. I want to be able to teach high school students first before I go on to be a professor. Since I took 2 years of Secondary/Adolescent Educastion-English in Queens College, Would I even able to become an English teacher? Also, is it possible that I can become a religion teacher? As well as that, once I even transfer from Queens College into Fordham University, will I have to take any core requirements from Fordham University? I understand that my decision looks complicated. That's why I would like to know the real truth before I pursue it. Is all this even possible to accomplish. Any advice is appreciated & Best of Thanks to anyone that responds :)</p>
<p>Your plan is impossible.</p>
<p>Fordham is picky with accepting transfer credits for core requirements. You’d have to make up a lot of core courses, and that’s besides the theology/history courses you’d have to fill your schedule with to finish even one major in two years. So you couldn’t finish the core and two majors in two years and two summers, let alone two years and one summer.</p>
<p>Your coursework in adolescent education at QC will probably mean nothing unless you finish a teacher certification program (I think this involves getting a master’s degree if you want to work in NY State). So you couldn’t be a high school teacher in NY State unless you got into Teach for America or a similar program after getting your bachelor’s.</p>
<p>Why do you think you need to teach high school students before getting a graduate degree? That might make sense if, for example, you got a master’s degree in religion and taught religion at a Catholic high school before going back for a PhD in religion and becoming a university professor. But it seems to me like such a dramatic career change as you’ve thought up (teaching English → researching medieval history?) could be difficult, perhaps forbiddingly so.</p>
<p>I would go on–beyond how it’s absurd of you to aspire to a tenure-track career at one specific university, how it doesn’t make any sense for you to ask for advice so late in the college app process, and how your grammar and syntax are shaky even though you claim to want to be an English teacher–but I can’t tell if your post is uninformed or just a good bit of trolling.</p>
