    singles not allowed

    April 9, 2010

    Hi,

    I applied under the humanities and I want to major in English. Would it be possible to double major with Cognitive Science although it is not in the same stream? Do double majors take longer to complete than having only one major?

    ——————————————————-

    Yes, it is possible to couple a major in Cognitive Science with one in English. In fact, in order to graduate from UofT, you NEED to have either two majors OR one major and two minors OR a specialist program (though no one seems to know that – how do people graduate?). Take your pick.

    A single major requires around 7 credits, so two majors would require… well, I’m sure you can do the math. You need 20 credits in total to graduate, so a double major would leave you with around 6 credits – that’s a lot! – for those delightful electives.

    if not aska, then who?

    March 19, 2010

    Dear Aska,

    Love the blog and the concept. Where do you find the time and mental energy?

    Currently a grade 11 student completing the french bac next year. Marks are v good and I understand I will be able to get 3 transfer credits in Mat, Sciences, Languages or similar. I have three subjects of interest in Arts and Sciences: Economics, Asia-Pacific Studies and Writing and Rhetoric. Also looking to apply for Vic one. I have a couple of questions.

    Can I use the exemptions I will be granted to cover off some of the breadth requirements – for instance the science requirement?

    If I use the exemptions to fill some first year requirements – like Math for Economics – will the university let me do a double major (Asia-Pac and Economics) and a minor Writing and Rhetoric. (By my math I can fit in the 18 courses to attain these).? Can I do a major and two minors instead?

    Finally, I am dreaming and will the work load be too much?

    Thanks for your advice. Best Regards.

    ———————————————

    Where do I find the time and mental energy? That’s an easy one to answer. There are students that need their (silly) questions answered, students that need their (totally unfounded) worries calmed, and students that desperately need someone to slap their sorry senses back into them. How can I stay in my own little bubble when there are so many students out there that are in need of my greatness? *aska sits on his throne and leisurely sips his tea*

    Now, any transfer credits you gain upon admission will count towards degree requirements, but watch out: the Calendar has changed now. The new breadth requirements will be replacing the old distribution requirements, which required students to take 1 science, 1 humanities, and 1 social science credit each. Students coming to UofT in 2010 or later will instead need to take one credit from at least 4 out of 5 of the following categories (copied straight out of the new Arts and Science calendar):

    1. Creative and Cultural Representations

    2. Thought, Belief, and Behaviour

    3. Society and Its Institutions

    4. Living Things and Their Environment (don’t click this link if you don’t like creepy crawlies. I warned you.)

    5. The Physical and Mathematical Universes

    Students must take at least 4 full-course equivalents (FCEs) that have been designated as satisfying the Breadth Requirement. These 4 credits must be either (a) at least 1 FCE in each of any 4 of the 5 categories above, or (b) at least 1 FCE in each of any 3 of the 5 categories, and at least 0.5 FCE in each of the other 2 categories.

    To graduate from UofT, you need to complete: 1) a specialist program, OR 2) two majors, OR, 3) a major and two minors. So yes, you can do a double major in Economics and Asia-Pac studies and a minor in W&R. Or, you could do a major in Asia-Pac and have minors in Economics and W&R and still be able to graduate. However, as you said, a double major and minor would require around 18 credits, so you may have to take some summer courses or a 6th credit during the school year. Keep in mind that most people’s interests do change when they go to University, and you never know you may end up doing a major program in something entirely different! So allow yourself some room to experiment around, in case you need to make changes.

    As for whether or not the course load will be too much for you to handle, I think the answer to that question is different for everyone. One thing I am learning as I go through UofT is that everybody has different limits, and it is up to you to know your own. For instance, some people may feel extremely stressed taking 4 credits during the year, while others take 6 courses, hold a job, and join tons of extra-curricular activities and still feel relatively unfazed. I think that as you go through UofT, you will begin to get a feel for your own limits. But just take it easy for now you’ll find out when you get here, and if you feel too stressed or not challenged enough, you can always take less/more courses.

    whatever happened to interdisciplinarity

    March 10, 2010

    Hi —

    I’ve read somewhere (can’t find the page again to clarify this) that you cannot take more than 15 credits with the same 3 letter designator. ENG, HPS, SOC, etc. What happens if you do? Does your 16th credit not count toward your program requirements, or does the extra course not count toward your GPA?

    Thanks

    ———————————————

    This is a little bit of a fishy issue. My registrar says that you CAN actually take the 16th credit, and it will not be counted as Extra Credit – so it will still count towards your GPA. What it will not count toward is the? 20-credit requirement that you need to fulfill to graduate. What this means is that, should you elect to take a 16th credit in, say, Sociology, you would need to have at least 21 credits when you graduate; you’d need to take 5 credits from departments other than Sociology to fulfill the 20-credit requirement.

    Hope this helps.

    you make my antennae go beep

    February 11, 2010

    Hi Aska,

    I actually emailed UT admissions with my question and they gave me a really vague and general answer like, go look at our programs website. So, I heard you’re the man to go to if I need any questions answered, and here goes!

    I’m from Singapore (It’s okay if you don’t know where it is. It probably doesn’t even show up on the world map), graduated from a Canadian high school, but due to unforeseen circumstances, I have to do one and a half year of university in South Korea instead of enrolling straight into UT. My major here is International Studies, but when I transfer to UT in September 2011, I’ll be doing International Relations instead. Yes, I do know that I can’t bring over all of my credits, so I’m guessing I can probably only bring along a year’s worth of credits with me.

    Problem is, I really want to do a double degree but there’s just no way for me to do that in a Korean university because everything else is taught in Korean except for International Studies.

    My question is, is it possible for me to do a double degree program in my 2nd year? If it’s possible, how? Will I be like a second year student in International Relations and a first year student in whatever major that I want?? I do want to finish my university within 4 years.

    That’s about it, and I also want to thank you in advance for being more helpful 🙂

    Cheers.

    ———————————————

    Singapore? Of course I’ve heard of it. Isn’t that like, a city in Europa? Oh my goodness. I’m from Jupiter too! No wonder my antennae are beeping. Why HELLO! I never expected to meet you here! Wow, who would’ve known. I’m not surprised it wouldn’t have shown up on the world map. World maps usually don’t depict Europa at much or at all (perhaps you are new to Earth? Otherwise, you’d have known that.) They only show Europe. I know. Earthlings are so self-centred and arrogant.

    Anyway, if you are coming to UofT, I suggest that you start familiarizing yourself with the Arts and Science calendar. The Calendar is basically a listing of the available courses and programs at UofT, as well as things like rules or requirements to graduate. If you look on the programs page and click International Relations, you’ll be directed here. If you scroll down to the International Relations section, you’ll notice that there are actually two IR programs: the Specialist program and the Major program. The difference between all of the Specialist programs and Major programs at UofT is basically their intensiveness. Specialist programs are around twice as intensive as Major programs, and require around 10-16 full credits. Majors require around 7 and have generally easier course requirements. Oh, there are also Minor programs (not for IR though), which require 4 credits. Together, your combinations of Specialist, Major, and Minor programs are what we call your “POSts” (Programs Of STudy).

    So your question really depends on which IR program you plan to do. To graduate from UofT, you either need to complete (minimum) one specialist program, two major programs, or a major and two minors. I can tell you that specialist programs are usually offer more depth, and would better prepare you for graduate school. On the other hand, major programs offer you more breadth (since you must combine them with another major to graduate), which could serve you better in the workplace, as employers are looking for people with transferable skills rather than for people with in-depth knowledge of History of Modern Chinese Foreign Relations or Organometallic Chemistry and Catalysis or Anthropology and the Intimate: Studies in Affect and Action? (geez. They have courses with ridiculously long names at UofT). Note that I am generalizing quite a bit; many people get into grad school with just a major program and many people go into the workplace with a specialist program. It really depends on your personal interest: do you want breadth, or depth?

    If you choose the specialist program, let me just tell you that it will be hard for you to complete the specialist program and another major in a three-year timespan at UofT. A specialist program in IR is 13 credits, while a major is usually around 7 that’s 20 credits in total (and people usually do 5 per year). It’s worse than it sounds, because the courses in your specialist program and major program could conflict, and ALSO you have to fulfill distribution requirements.

    If you’re looking for breadth, a major program in IR might be more suitable. If you choose the major program, you have to combine it with another major or two minors to graduate. You will not be a second year student in International Relations and a first year student in your other major. The year you are put in is determined entirely by the number of credits you have. Second year? students are those with 4-8.5 credits at UofT. So, if you get, say, 3.5 transfer credits, you will be deemed a first year student?. If you have, say, 5 transfer credits, you will be deemed a second year student. However, second year students can still take first year courses (and first years and take second year courses, provided that there are no extra constraints on the courses).

    Note that to enroll into the International Relations program, you have to have to be a second year student? (so you have to have at least 4 credits). Also, you have to meet the minimum GPA and complete an interview. For more info, consult the IR department webpage. (They also have a good FAQ there you could check out.) If you somehow cannot enroll into the IR program when you transfer to UofT, you can still take the courses required for your desired IR program, provided that you have the prerequisites for those courses. In that case, you could try to apply for the program at the end of your second year.

    PHEW! So, have I confused you yet? Yeah, sorry. UofT’s system can be a little confusing. If you have any other questions or need clarification, feel free to ask again. I also suggest that you contact your college registrar when you arrive at Toronto for the first time, so you can ask them more. TAKE ADVANTAGE OF YOUR RESOURCES!

    Tugging at Askastudent’s heartstring.

    July 8, 2009

    I’m going into first year next year and I was really looking forward to doing a double major in architecture and something else unrelated. After looking at the website I got really discouraged. (http://www.daniels.utoronto.ca/programs/ba_architectural_studies)

    91 applied for history and 8 got invited. 176 applied for design and 42 got invited. Then at the bottom it says please note: For both Design and History Theory Criticism NO double majors were accepted.

    Wow so much for my dreams, lol. Haven’t double majors been accepted before? I don’t even know if I should bother next year if that’s the case. Please shed some light on this matter askastudent. (: And have a fantastic summer.

    ?

     

    First, a point of clarification: “no double majors were accepted” refers to student who wanted to simultaneously take both a double Major in Architectural Studies (Design) AND Architectural Studies (History/Theory/Criticism). You CAN pair a Major in Architectural Studies with any other Major imaginable in the Faculty of Arts & Science. In fact, you have to (see this post).

     

    As for your discouragement about getting into an ARC Major, I graduated with a BA in Architectural Studies (Major with a concentration in Design). So, I’m really gonna try here…

     

    I could give you a pep talk about turning that defeatist attitude around, buuut that’s not really my style. Plus, I’m not sure what good it’ll really do. Instead, I will give you a play-by-play of my affair with an ARC Major, which I think should shed some anecdotal light on your prospects.

     

    1. at the end of my first year > in the first round of POSt enrollment > requested both ARC Majors > ?didn’t get invited into either > tears > anger > Hello Art Histoy!

    2. summer after first year > second round of POSt enrollment > requested both ARC Majors > got invited to History/Theory/Criticism > foot in the door!

    3. end of second year > first round of POSt enrollment > requested ARC Major in Design > didn’t get the invite > denial > rage

    4. summer after second year > second round of POSt enrollment > request ARC Major in Design > got invited > celebration > buy an entirely black wardrobe and thick-framed glasses

     

    Despite getting a (baker’s) dozen rejections by the ARC Program, I was not behind on any courses when I eventually got into Design in third year. This is because the second year ARC courses are the same for either Major. So, entering Design at the 300-level was as if I was always there. I think that they finally let me in for a couple reasons. One, that I was persistent and/or obnoxious – thus demonstrating genuine commitment to ARC. Two, that enough time had elapsed for me to resurrect my dismal CGPA from the first-year massacre. Three, that I was able to demonstrate competency in the 200-level ARC courses.

     

    As you can see, my relationship with ARC began on a tumultuous path. It teased me for a bit, played hard-to-get, then finally realized that we were meant for each other.

     

    But the honeymoon phase was short-lived. My tenure in Architecture was a cyclical abusive relationship characterized by: lack of sleep, shattered confidence, and gradually losing my fingertips in desperate attempts to cut plexiglass (all of this interspersed with the awesome realization that you get to draw and build things for credit!).

     

    I’m gonna go a step beyond your question now, and talk a bit about Art History, which – should you get into an ARC Major – you will quickly develop a deep affection for. This relationship will begin in the lusting phase, on account of FAH being pretty cool (you get to look at pictures all class). Then, the inevitable transition from courtship to a committed relationship will happen just after marks are posted on ROSI. This is when ARC studio courses are trying to demolish your GPA, while FAH courses are blissfully counterbalancing them.

     

    Let’s be clear that only in the realm of Arts & Science would I condone such infidelity. While Art History is a sexy part-time lover, when you’re going steady with Architecture, it is not the only good option. I also did Environmental Studies (the way of the future, my friend). Urban studies and visual studies are popular, but I encourage you to consolidate ANYTHING with Architecture. All good design is interdisciplinary.

     

    To all of you monogamistic purists out there, whose jaws are in perma-drop from my sexually-liberated metaphor, go take a Specialist. Of course you can’t in Architecture – they are far too corrupt.

     

    Ooo! Let’s push this metaphor too far… Taking a double ARC-ARC Major is an incestuous love triangle. And why on earth would you want that!?!

     

    …

     

    Fine… okay… I’ll say it: DON’T WORRY SO MUCH!!! You’ll be fine!!! Even if you don’t get into an ARC Major – you can still apply for a Master of Architecture… and then you can go on and make ultra-plastic buildings that are purely derived from computer software and have zero relationship to context… and then they fall apart… and then you get sued. The end.

    Double majoring in Geek & Dork.

    June 2, 2009

    Hey Aska! Alright, I just finished my first year and I made a complete arse of meself. I failed a 1.0 credit course AND a 0.5 credit course by not attending lecs/tuts just because I didn’t like them (yeah, a lot of growing up I need to do). However, I’ve managed to stay off Academic Probation. Which leads me to my question…

    Since I only have 3.5 credits and am unable to apply for any programs, is there anything different I will have to do on my OSAP application? I was applied for Near & Middel Eastern Civ. on my first OSAP app. but I was planning on switching to a double major History/English when I got my 4FCE, Should I put History as program of study for the 09/10 applications and for year of study ‘First’ as well?

    Really confused. I would love it if you could get back to me FTL (‘faster than light’, Battlestar Galactica references all’round!).?

    Cheers!

    ?

    Can I start by saying that from “arse of meself” onwards I read your question in a pirate’s voice.

    ?

    I would love to make some snide remarks about your question. However, you have done a sufficient job of making fun of yourself… thereby forcing me to be nice (or at least neutral).

    ?

    OSAP’s calculation of your potential loan amount is based on how much tuition you pay. So, you’re course load will be the primary variable. Of course, there are some Arts & Science programs (e.g. Commerce, Computer Science) that hike up the tuition, and potentially entitle you to more funding. But any other Arts & Science subject POSts – History, English, NMC, basket weaving – are all the same in the eyes of OSAP. A.k.a. you can write down whichever of your POSts that you want

    ?

    However, none of this really matters because until you have achieved 4.0 credits, you can’t enrol in POSts, which means you would be lying if you told OSAP that you are in History or English. NEVER lie to OSAP. You do not want to get on their bad side. You are simply still in Arts & Science: Humanities, or Social Science, or Science (whatever stream you were admitted to initially). Less fun, I know.

    ?

    And YES, for “year of study” you should put FIRST. Year of study is solely based upon how many credits you have earned, not how long you’ve been around. This rule also affects your course enrollment date this July, (sounds like you’re on for 27 July).

    ?

    I apologize if my responsiveness was not up to your exceptionally nerdy standard of speed. The old Aska spaceship was running low on tylium. HAHAHAHAH!@#!%&!! (I have no idea what that joke means).

    Beat it Barbara. Get lost Larry.

    Book and Media Studies?
    Hey! I want to get into journalism and I’m wondering what programs and stuff I should do.
    I’m taking some Media courses in first-year. Any benefits?

    ———————————————

    Book & Media studies, eh?

    I’ve never taken a course from this program, but I do love reading. Alas, I will resort to speculation, and harassing smart people to answer your question.

     

    The website says: The program prepares students for vocations in journalism, publishing, editing, communications and graduate programs in information and library science.

    This seems pretty evident that it would be relevant to a career in journalism, right? I noticed that the program description seems to emphasize text-based journalism. However, the course listings are evenly distributed between print and non-print media (e.g. radio, TV). There also seems to be a focus on the history of media, which may seem less relevant to the practice of journalism. Call me a romantic, but I still think being able to situate contemporary media in its historical context is a foundational skill for any journalist.

     

    Another idea for you is to take courses from the Innis College Writing & Rhetoric Minor program.

    This program is much more focused on the development of practical writing skills. Beyond this, the program aims to develop your ability to critically reflect upon, and construct, arguments. The program is also interdisciplinary (the wave of the future, my friend), as it is structured to complement other academic streams. So, it’s my humble opinion that throwing this Minor into the mix would directly benefit your journalistic aspirations. It’s also important to note that you don’t need to be enrolled in the Minor to take the Writing & Rhetoric courses.

     

    Beyond these options, I recommend taking a subject POSt in a field of interest to you. What kind of journalist do you want to be? A generic newscaster or editor? A political columnist? An economic writer? An endless fountain of second hand embarrassment? I’m not trying to pigeon-hole you, but it occurs to me that journalism is more than just being able to investigate issues and articulate them to broader audiences (a.k.a. the process of journalizing). I think that it’s very important to generate some expertise/interest in a more substantive field of study (a.k.a. the content of journalism).

     

    So, sample courses from various streams to see what might be of interest to your prospective career as a journalist. You might find some great candidates for an additional Minor or Major.

     

    You should also get involved in a student newspaper. Each College has one, and I get the impression that they are always desperate for contributors.

     

    I hope this helps. I also hope that any newsies out there can chip in with some experience-based advice!

    To market, to market, to buy a fat irritation.

    May 28, 2009

    Just wondering, can i double major in commerce (marketing) and? psychology in 4 years? Or would it take longer? If it works, would I be attending UofT or UofT Scarborough ? Because it says nothing about double majors on the UofT website, but it does on the UofTS one. Last but not least, if I do double major, am I getting 2 degrees or just one?

    ———————————————

    I won’t lie, it took me a while to decipher this query my friend. And I still haven’t really figured it out.

    First, what is the Major in “Commerce (Marketing)” that you are referring to?

    Scarborough offers a Specialist in Management & Marketing. St. George offers a Major in Commerce.

    I guess I’ll just answer your question for both scenarios… (sigh).

     

    Scenario 1: Specialist in Management & Marketing, UTSC

    A 13.0-credit program that leads to a B.B.A. degree.

    If you were enrolled in this program, you would strictly be a UTSC student. Sadly, you CANNOT enrol in 2 programs on 2 different campuses at the same time. The best you could do is to take all of your remaining electives (and no more than 10.0) as St. George Psychology courses – but those would never manifest as a Program on your transcript.

    Of course, you could just take the Management & Marketing Specialist at Scarborough, and pair it with a Major or Minor in Psychology from Scarborough as well. This would be much cleaner, and you would receive recognition for both Programs. Since the Major requires 7.0 credits, it would be a tight squeeze to finish those alongside the 13.0 Marketing credits in 20.0 credits over 4 years. I’m not saying it can’t be done, and you can always take more than 20.0 courses doing summer school and whatnot. The Minor is much more reasonable.

     

    Scenario 2: Major in Commerce, St. George

    A 7.5-credit program that leads to a Hon.B.A. degree. It must be paired with at least 1 more major or 2 minors. If the other Major is a science program (e.g. Psych), you will by default get an Hon.B.Sc. degree.

    In this case, you CAN complete both a Major in Rotman Commerce and a Major in Psychology, as a St. George student. Commerce requires 7.5 credits. Psych requires 6.5 credits. You need 20.0 credits to graduate. This still leaves you with 6.0 credits to blow on whatever tickles your fancy. (…did someone say “The Sun and its Neighbours??”)??

    But listen up! The Commerce Major does not have an explicit concentration in Marketing. You may elect to take a bunch of marketing courses (e.g. RSM250, 350, 452, 458), but in the end it will still be the more general Major in Commerce.

    Sound decent? Here’s the kicker. Rotman Commerce courses are hella expensive. Whether you are in the Major or one of the Specialists, beginning in your 2nd year you will pay a yearly “program fee” ($10,481 right now). This flat fee will cover all of the courses you take between 3.0-6.0 credits.

    Compare that to the brand new Arts & Science flat fee, which covers 4.0-6.0 credit courseloads, of $5300-ish. And for all of this moola you would spend for Commerce, the Major still only entitles you to a B.A. degree not the B.Com that the Specialist will yield.

     

     

    Scenario 3: Rotman Commerce Specialist (Accounting, Finance & Economics, or Management), St. George

    I’ve added an additional scenario for your consideration. It is my suggested alternative to Scenario 2. You will still pay the high Commerce flat fees, but you will get a B.Com degree (wooooo). You can pair this with a Major or Minor in Psychology downtown. Which Commerce Specialist is best for you? Well, none of them really. You’ll notice that there isn’t a Marketing option per se.

    I’m thinking that the Major or Minor programs in Semiotics offered through Victoria College, downtown, may have relevance to the field of Marketing. Maybe some Sociology courses as well?? I’m reaching now.

     

    Okay finally. In response to your last question (and it should be obvious by now), you do not get 2 degrees for having a double major. You get one degree that will say something more generic like Hon.BA., Hon.BSc, B.Com, or B.B.A. To achieve that degree you must complete a minimum combination of Programs: 1 Specialist, 2 Majors, and 1 Major + 2 Minors. ?

     

    Ps. The U of T Arts & Science website explains double Majors, and the like, in the 2009-10 Calendar, see “Program Requirements.” But I can’t blame you for not finding it. U of T websites are notoriously bloated with text and they navigate like a labyrinth, but without the prospect of discovering David Bowie’s bulge.

    The little engine that could.

    May 22, 2009

    I was wondering if it is possible to switch POSts after second year; perhaps to a POSt that had rejected me previously.

    The required courses would still be fairly similar as I’m not planning to switch out of lifesci and most of the courses overlap.

    ———————————————

    Do you have commitment issues?

    Are you afraid of being type-cast??

    Were you refused by the POSt of your dreams, and won’t settle for a NO?!

     

    I’m here to tell you, friends, that YES you may change your subject POSts (right up until you graduate). Understood?

     

    And if that Department refuses you again in the second round of POSt enrolment, try again in the following Spring… and again… and again… until they let you in. If that doesn’t work, make yourself a permanent fixture in the Departmental Office. Visit the secretary. Inquire about last year’s cGPA cut-off. Ask irritating questions like “What are my chances?” (ooh, they’ll hate that!!!). If they still say no… tell them Aska sent you.

     

    The general rule for changing subject POSts is: once you have completed 4.0 FCEs you can enjoy almost unrestrained addition and removal of Type 1 POSts, and more restrictive access to Type 2 & 3 (Timetable pp.17-21).

     

    Much like heroine, or ebay, modifying your POSts can be terribly addictive. So, be prepared to harness all of your self-restraint. Luckily, ROSI limits POSt activity. Subject POSts can only be changed until Sept 22. After that, you’ll have to go to your Registrar’s to take care of it, or just wait until the following Spring.

     

    During the permissible periods, you can add up to 3 POSts at one time, but they can’t all be the same kind (e.g. can’t take just 3 minors or 3 specialists). Whenever you’re done altering the course of your life on ROSI, make sure that you are ACTIVE in the minimum combos of POSts (1 specialist, 2 majors, 1 major + 2 minors). When you can, use the “CHANGE” feature on ROSI, rather than “DELETE” then “ADD,” just to be on the safe side.???? ?

     

    Also, all of the courses you take to satisfy your POSts must represent 12 distinct courses. That just limits how inbred your brain gets.

     

    First-year LifeSci courses are basically universal, so you shouldn’t run into problems with pre-req’s when you cross over.

     

    Go nuts!

     

    *a note of caution: while ROSI may enable you to erase that Physiology major, the emotional scarring of mammalian endocrinal secretion will haunt you every night.

    hi! i hope you have time to asnwer my question.! you seem so busy answering all these questions.!!!

    anyway..mine is that.how many courses can i take without enrolling in subjects posts… i wil have only 1 and half credits
    at the end of this season ..and can’t take summer courses..
