specialists and majors – can this marriage be saved?

quick question:
is there a big difference between double major and double specialist?
can i specialize in one area, and major in another

quick answer:
you can, but nobody would recommend it. essentially, a student requires 20 full year credits to graduate. 3 of these credits need to be distribution credits in social science, science and humanities. specialists range from 10 and above credits while majors usually fall into the 6 to 9 range. if you make your credit count work. this website explains this in detail.
the only problem is that you really can’t screw up with what classes you take, which most university students aren’t able to do. (especially askastudent.) you can’t take cool electives involving aboriginal studies, but you can’t really take a wrong turn.
also – you may have to take a fifth year to fit everything in. you have been warned.
cheers, askastudent
