Chanty, that is some good advise. Major is what you will be recognised for, for me its a BA in Communication, media and culture. My Sub-major is in Professional and creative communication, then my minor is in literary practice. This may sound a bit confusing, but it is mostly related to workload, major has highest, and so on. I found in my courses that a lot of the topic areas overlap and I feel that I have learnt a lot more from my sub-major than my major, so in the end these experiences can be put on your CV as selection Criteria. I believe it's not so much about the title of study, but what you gain collectively. Chanty is right, once you've done a year of what you get into, you can get credit for what you've learnt and change majors, this happens all the time. I was going to change to a journalism major after first year, but I found I really liked what id gotten into and it gave me a broader scope so I stuck with it. It comes down to trial and error I think. Psych is a big course, which would need a lot of dedication, so doing another major at the same time will be very stressful for you. French as a minor seems like a great way to go

Your questions are impressive.

Q1. Could I take classes over the summer at another college, and get a major in French at my regular college, even though it isn't technically offered?
A1. No. Possible Solutions: Find a different college that offers the double major. Get your minor in French with the intention of taking continuing education courses in French. Talk with the advisor(s) at your "regular" college to seek additional advice--talk with the Psychology advisor and the French advisor.

Q2. I was just wondering if the number of classes is the main factor in whether you can get a major or minor.
A2. The number of classes is not the main factor in whether you can. The main factor in whether you can is whether you can. I am sure you were asking what is the difference between the two. And yes the main difference is the number of credit hours obtained. I majored in Psychology (36 credit hours) and I minored in Theatre (18 credit hours).

Q3. Also, is it difficult to do a double major?
A3. A double major is not difficult if you want to do it. Anything can be difficult if you do not want to do it.

Q4. What is the real difference between majors and minors, in terms of what kinds of jobs you can get?

A4. When your minor is a second language, the crucial factor that makes you a competitive candidate for getting a job is not that you have a minor but that you are bi-lingual.
People tend to major in the field that they plan to have a career in.
But ultimately the answer is... it depends on the career that you want as to how your course of study fits that career.

Q5. How many minors can you have?

A5. As many as you are willing to pay for--money and time wise. However, at a certain amount of hours over the required amount, your tuition may be increased for excessive undergraduate hours. But why do more undergraduate study as opposed to going on to graduate study?
Also, my degree plan, as most do, required 11 credit hours of a foreign language which meant I could have taken 7 more hours for a minor in that language. Andthose 7 hours could have been fulfilled with other core requiremnts such as the Literature requirement by taking French literature and then French history and so forth. So there are ways to build a minor that leave you with additional hours for another minor or two without adding more hours than you would have taken anyway. If you are a careful planner you can get several minors without extra time/money.

FYI: Most lucrative jobs in psychology will require at least a Master's.

What kind of career would you like to have?

Good luck!

P.S. Take French in high school and do well and you can test out of having to take some of the courses and still get the credit hours.

Hey everyone!

I just wanted to thank you all for replying to my questions. You were all very helpful and you told me many things that I didn't know. Thank you all for helping me out. =]
