<p>Just wanted some opinions/advice on whether a double major in English & Secondary Ed. (in order to get teaching license) would be too difficult/time consuming. I'm also debating on whether I should minor in Asian Studies. I'll be attending Vanderbilt (if that makes any difference), taking a full course load, doing work-study, joining clubs, etc. Would that be too difficult to balance as a freshman?
I want to also go on to graduate school for English.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Yes, it’s definitely doable. A lot of schools require education majors to double major, so people do it all the time. Not sure how much time you would have for a minor, depending on how many general education requirements you have, since education majors tend to have more course requirements than other majors do (or at least they do at my school).</p>
<p>Okay, that’s a relief! Thanks!</p>
<p>*Any more comments are appreciated too :)</p>
<p>You just have to make sure you plan out your English requirements to finish a semester early, because you’ll likely spend your entire last semester student teaching.</p>
<p>yea… Education and English should be standard / no problem. You will have to see what the requirements for Asian Studies are and whether you can fit them in. Sit down with a course catalog for an hour and tentatively create a 4 year schedule, and it should be pretty clear if it is realistic or not.</p>
