It appears there is. I won't know officially until Monday, when there's someone in the department office to do the overrides on the registration computer and whatnot, but the professor's given me the OK to overload into 110 (she's pretty sure someone will drop it during A/D anyway) and the department head is OK with me taking 110 and 250 concurrently rather than consecutively, so that's half the core requirements for the GD minor right there. If the other two core courses and at least two of the electives are offered in the spring (which I won't know until the Spring 2015 catalog is published in October), I can complete the rest of the requirements for the minor then. Since I'll already have completed the HTY degree and MET minor requirements this fall, I'll be able to graduate next May with a BA in History with Mechanical Engineering Tech and Graphic Design minors.

Then it'll be time to decide whether to apply for undergraduate readmission to try and finish the MET BS, or leave it at that and move on to graduate school in history. Well, I'll probably have decided before graduation, but, you know what I mean. That's the sequence.

My only real misgiving about all this is that I'd gotten used to the idea of graduating in December, but I'm not concerned about the delay academically - I already have a financial aid package locked in for the whole school year, so I might as well use it. It's more of a personal thing. Still, it's another credential, and one I might be able to turn to useful purposes while I'm working on whichever degree is next, and like I say, I already have the funding to get it. It'd be silly to let that opportunity pass by.

I do still want to learn to draw (and also to play my damn guitar), but this is probably a better use of the university.
