How difficult would a double major in philosophy and theology(or religious studies) depends if I go public or private and a minor in physics be I know for a fact that I would like to do the double major although (I may just drop the theology degree if I go to a public university rather than adding the religious studies major) all just depends I know for a fact I would like to major in philosophy but how difficult would adding a minor in physics be (and would the university allow me to do this if I had not taken any physics courses before I transfer I started in a really low math level do to low testing and awful grades in high school I’m taking Algebra 1 in the fall) latest I think I will be at the community college is spring 2020 I’m currently working on an AA in Social Science and an AA-T in Philosophy and by that point the farthest I would possibly be able to make it in math is Calculus 1 I need to be taking Calculus 2 to take the intro physics course at my school would a university allow me to do this if I am just at the appropriate math level once I transfer beyond that how difficult would this combination be?
double major in philosophy/theology minor in physics (btw the philosophy and theology would not be useless for me I am planning on going in the direction of entering the clergy and these degrees would be very useful in these fields
Question: how is physics relevant in the field you’re entering?
Minors are usually done if you have a genuine interest in the subject AND if they truly prove useful in whatever you end up doing. If you find yourself struggling in math, a minor in physics may divert your time and energy from your double major, and can just end up hurting your GPA.
yeah it is just a thought I still have a little while left at the community college but yeah it would be mostly irrelevant and it is a point of interest I guess hence why it is a thought but yeah to come to think of it, would probably just be a heavier load making things unessicarrily difficult
You can take physics classes without having it as a minor. In my recollection, university physics definitely does require calculus, but you can take calculus at university at the same time that you take physics (at least when I took it, calculus was a “co-requisite”, the calculus class would teach us something then the physics class would use the same thing a few days later).
Also, for a philosophy major you need to lean to use punctuation.

@rexca1996 Focus on what you’re truly interested in. If you really feel like taking up a heavier course load, a minor that perhaps focuses on your particular religion may provide a much more interesting and useful use of your time and energy.
Philosophy, as you may already know, has several disciplines in it. One of them is the philosophy of science. So you may find that taking classes in that field, within your own phil major, work very well for you regarding your interest in physics. It’s something for you to explore once you get to university.
It may be that you’ll be able to take physics 1 - the one for science majors - once you get to university if you take calc 1 as a co-requisite (at the same time.) Or you may need to wait to take physics 1 until your second term there. So you may or may not have time to fit in all the physics classes you need for the minor before you graduate. That said, most unis offer several physics and physics related classes for non-science majors, which do not require calculus. So it may be that you’ll be able to take those and learn what you want about physics without having to take the physics classes for science majors. This wouldn’t be a minor in physics - just you taking physics related classes out of personal interest, which would be fine. They’d fill your uni gen ed science requirements, and also electives.
