HELP -- Advice Needed About Major

Kingsley
edited March 2009 in General
Hi,

I'm currently declared as a History Major. Basically, I am at the point where I have approximately equal History and English credits.

I transfered from Kwantlen (took English there, but decided to drop out cuz i couldn't take the profs there) into SFU.

After declaring history as my major at SFU, I recently took a few English courses at SFU, and found them to be really interesting!

Now my question is... should I stick with History or transfer to English???

My logic of thinking is: I'm going into PDP, and to get in the program, I need to take an equal amount of either English or History courses. (depending on if I decide to switch back to English from History) Am I confusing you yet??

Please comment.

    I'd be careful just because SFU is retarded how they make you take so many pre-requisite courses. So you won't be able to swap back and forth as easily if you decide to change your mind midway through.

    I'd probably consider a double major or a major/minor if thats possible. Just to be on the safe side...then you get a little of both worlds.

    Man when I went to UBC you had to have pre-req credits (i.e. hist credits for a hist major) not specific courses set out.

    i'm a history and english double major.

    stick with history. english is really specific in the 400's so if you dont have the pre-reqs you'll be stuck with useless credits waiting for a class to open up.

    do an english minor and history major. that'll be easier for you since you transerred from kwantlen. the english program reqs are fairly specific i think.
    unlike history where you just need 4 groups.
