HI ASKA. I hope you are not too worn out by exams. =]I am a first year student who is trying to plan a little bit ahead for her future –I am taking English, Intro to Film Studies, Philosophy this year. I really like all three of them. I am a nerd, ha, and my goal eventually is to get into grad school in Comparative Literature. I know that UT students typically pick two majors or one major two minor, but I want to ask is it possible to do a double major plus a minor? I want to either go with majoring in Eng/Phl and minor in Film, or majoring in Eng/Film and minor in Phl. I feel like doing two minors really does no good–since it does not go in depth in the field and a lot of great academic opportunities are given to the major/specialist students in the program.?
I calculated the needed credits –since I have first year courses for all three for them, really what I need to get is 6 credits for each major, which is 12 for double major, and 3 credits for the minor, so total of 15 credits–which means 5 courses per year. Mathematically it seems viable, but is it doable in practice? Does UT even allow me to register for 2 major one minor??
Want to hear your take on it –thanks a lot. Have a great day !

Dear someone who has it all figured out but a cool alias (i.e. Anonymous)
I knew the day would come when someone who actually knows what they want to do would come for reassurance. You’ve got it.
ooooh baby! Aska is never ?worn out by exams … we know the answers to everything (just don’t ask my roommates about the tequila binge I went on after my final exam)
You look like you have things under control. Props for knowing what you’ve wanted from the first semester. I would say that yah its totally cool to do that. I would assume that the university gives students some rooms to play around with courses and still be able to graduate.
I have a roommate that is enrolled in a Specialist and a Minor which is more than they require for graduation, so ROSI should allow it.
I would suggest making an appointment with an academic advisor just to make sure it is a green light, but things are looking good for you brah.
Love dearly,
Aska
