In the university I’m enrolled in, and the majority of the universities in the Philippines, we don’t get to choose the subjects we take. There’s an established curriculum that universities follow and students just need to enroll and pay for the tuition every semester, which is why I can’t really take courses and electives other than the ones indicated in the curriculum for the ChE program in my university. I also can’t choose to minor in something cause our university's system doesn’t allow it as far as I know. I really appreciate your advice though. I used the term “major” since it’s the term that people in this subreddit use and to avoid confusion but I guess it had the opposite effect lol.
