How should I find an online school program that offers English and Graphic Design as a double major?

Hi! I am thinking of attending a school that offers a BA in English along with a BA in Graphic Design as well as a minor in Creative Writing. I have always loved English, and discovered that I have a secondary passion for design, therefore I would like to further my career with these programs. My long-term goal is to enter into the publishing industry someday, doing something that involves design or editing. I would like to know if anyone has recommendations on where I could find these specific programs regarding school. I have looked into a few liberal arts colleges and universities but many of the ones I come across don't offer both. I appreciate any suggestions! Thank you!

If I am looking at majoring in Computer Science, how do I know which specific type/branch is right for me?

I don't have time to take a class for every specific branch of computer science to give things a try, but I do know my interests lay mostly on coding(still very broad), such as web development. It can also help if I know what are the various branches of Computer Science. #computer-science #choosing-major #college

What are some steps I can take to ensure that majoring in Computer Science is right for me?

I have encountered coding since middle school, and was interested in it ever since. However, I am currently taking AP Computer Science A right now in high school, and the class is somewhat a little challenging. That made me doubt if it is fit for me to major Computer Science because it will be even more challenging and competitive in college. #computer-science #college #choosing-major

Should I choose a minor that is easily utilized if my major is specific to a certain field?

I would like to major in conservation biology or wildlife biology, but it seems like a very difficult field to become employed in, and I was planning on minoring in psychology because I am interested in behavior and thought it would compliment a biology degree. However, would it be better to minor, or double major, in a more career-oriented field? Such as business, marketing, liberal arts, etc. They aren't especially interesting topics for me, but would they serve well as a backup plan? #conservation #wildlife-biology #business #marketing #liberal-arts #choosing-a-major #choosing-major ##choosing-a-minor #choosing-a-career #psychology #majors-and-minors #interests

When is the optimum time to declare a major?

How do you know that you're not rushing into anything and might end up picking something that you'll regret later? Is it really that big a deal for you to change your major and spend a little extra time in college? I feel like it's possible to not get your major choice completely right the first time around. #college #major #majors #careerpath #university #college-major #college-majors #choosing-a-major #choosing-major
