ugh what is happening

So I keep waffling on getting the BS in public health or the BA. The difference is simply in the number of science and math class they require - ht BS requires 6 extra science and 2 extra math classes, but no change in other required classes, so effectively limiting the number of electives one could take.

Were there a more clear difference - if the BS focused on biostatistics and epidemiology and the BA focused on communication and education, maybe it would be easier - but the core classes are the same, and the number of public health electives are the same - in fact, the BA might be better because I could choose to take more PH electives, whereas in the BS most of my electives will be filled with either math or science. 

The issue is that I feel more comfortable in my math and science classes - I wonder if, in the long term, it is smarter for me to pursue the more science based side of public health. I will probably be waiting until the end of this semester to decide anything, based on my math and science grades.

I was planning on transferring for Fall. I will have 38 semester hours (cap is 60 for transfer) so I could stay an extra semester and take required classes (trig, stats, etc), or I could transfer as planned and if I want to take those classes I could take them there. It’s more expensive to take them after I transfer, and it would be a waste if I decided not to pursue the science option.

If I stayed I would probably take the same 15 hours as if I transferred, trig, stats, macro or micro econ, history and humanities. The benefit of taking them after transferring would be not having to worry if the credits would transfer, possibly a higher caliber of education, and “settling in” at the new school faster, as opposed to clinging to frcc where I feel safe and know where everything is. I hate to think that fear of the unknown is a factor, but realistically it probably is. I am afraid of going to university and being an old lady in 1st year classes (like trig and intro to chem).

The other issues is that to fit in all of the required science classes one must be taking at least two science or a science and a math every semester, so kind of dipping a toe in to see if I like the water isn’t super easy.

So I don’t know? I like the idea of working in education/advocacy/policy but wonder if, realistically, working at a job where I am alone in a windowless closet would suit me better.
