    I’m crazy, can I do a major and a specialist?

    February 22, 2002

    Hi, I’m a prospective U of T student. I was wondering whether it’s possible to do a specialist program AND a major program. I really want to do a Modern Languages specialist (Spanish and Portuguese, 14 courses) and an English major (7 courses). Is this allowed? Or would they consider this a triple major and not permit it? Also, how many courses may a first year student take, maximum?

    well, it’s out there somewhere.

    FYI: There actually is an online book exchange that exists. I know this because a friend of mine that is an alumnus of UTM actually created and developed the site. However, I do not have the website address handy. And seeing as though school’s well on it’s way and the vast majority of students have probably already purchased their books (been ripped off), I’m not sure how much use it would be now, but I will forward it to ya when I find it!

    thanks guy. incoming address at some point soon….
    cheers,

    Is it possible to manage:
    – 6 full courses (17 hours of classes/week)
    – job (17 hours/week)
    – sport (appr. 5 hours/week)
    – many, many, many extracurricular activities (time involvement impossible to estimate)
    – a bit of volunteering (from time to time, nothing stable)
    and:

    Have an A average??? I really really need to know!
