Hiiii! I’m interested in doing a Book and Media studies major. I’m on degree explorer to try and plan stuff out (1st year right now) and the requirements on this degree explorer thing seem different from the one in the calendar, so I’m confused.
Some of the required courses in the calendar are SMC219, SMC228, and SMC229. In degree explorer, it says I need to take “All of BMS100H and BMS200Y and BMS201.”
Can you help clarify for me? I’m so confused on what the requirements are for this major!
it’s great that you’re planning things out using degree explorer! you’re doing your due diligence, which should save you from trouble later on.
i went on degree explorer to check this over and you’re right, there’s definitely a discrepancy. your confusion is very valid, because i’m confused too. i looked for the BMS courses on the timetable, and it seems like they’re not currently offered.
okay, so you’re getting a live narration of me looking into this. i went to st. mike’s website so that i could refer you to the contact for the BMS program, and check out what i found. this page explains that the program is currently in transition. the SMC courses you found on the calendar are no longer going to be offered, and the BMS courses on degree explorer will be replacing them.
i hope this helped! BMS is such a cool program — wishing you all the best with it if you decide to go ahead with it.
