Hey there<\/p>\n

I’m trying to figure out the best major\/minor options for me as a part-time degree student. My problem is that I am only able to go to evening classes, and my options seem totally limited to the point of insanity. I would love to get my bEd afterwards (a feat I know I will have to go full-time for), so I’m looking at teachable options. I was thinking I might do an english major, french minor, history minor, but fear I am just kidding myself. A part time degree is no doubt a long road– I just want to make sure I’m not doomed before I start.<\/p>\n

Any suggestions?<\/p>\n

Thanks!<\/p>\n

Hey hey!<\/p>\n

You’re obviously not doomed. You’re going to take a little more time than everyone, but you’re not doomed. I do hope, however, that you’re patient because sometimes UofT can be a pain when it comes to getting into courses…<\/p>\n

For now, I suppose I recommend taking a look at the course timetable and seeing what works. More often than not, if a department has a lot of courses, a fair share of them will be offered in the evening. So if you’re interested in majoring in English, I can actually tell you from experience that there’s quite a number of evening courses there, and looking at the timetable, this year there have been a lot of sections for most French classes. Unfortunately, History doesn’t seem to offer much at night (this year at least), but if you’re just minoring in it that shouldn’t be too difficult.<\/p>\n

And when it comes to deciding for next year, make use of the course finder<\/a> to narrow things down to evening classes only and make your life a little easier.<\/p>\n

Cheers!<\/p>\n
