How difficult is it to double major at Smith? I was thinking about English and Education. Also, it’s my understanding that Smith has a school for young children on campus; I’m hoping to do a work study or something, but I’m wondering what kind of opportunities are available. Thank you for any insight!!
Hi! A lot of people double major, and it’s completely do-able. It takes a bit more forward planning, just because you have two sets of requirements to fulfils, but you absolutely don’t have to know from day one if you want to double major! Yes, Smith has a Campus School and there are a variety of jobs available for students that count towards work-study - some that I can think of off the top of my head are classroom assistants, after-school program aids, break-time supervisors. I also know people who have conducted research with the Education department, and worked with teachers at the Campus School as part of it!
