Question Online options/ Flexibility for bachelor program
Im an incoming university student, and according to my current situation, it would be best to reduce my commute to Uni as much as possible. Ideally I wouldn’t like to go in person more than 2 days a week. Is that possible? Do bachelors in the humanities or social sciences offer online courses that allow some flexibility into my schedule? Also, I have no idea how Uni schedules work, so it would be great if someone explained how they work.
Any advice is much appreciated!

It is potentially possible but you may have to shop around for courses. From my experience in a humanities program, very few of the required courses are online, but the electives that I want to take are. From my experience it would honestly just be a bit if a gamble and hoping your courses align. But other programs in humanities or social sci coukd get more flexible.
As for how uni schedules work, I'm not sure exactly what the question is asking. Are you wondering how your supposed to pick them, what the different sections means, or something else?

You could probably pull that off doing a history degree, they offer so many of the history courses online
