Hi there aska,
I am in the process of applying for university, with u of t being one of my top choices.? I am interested in both life science (particularly biochemistry) and computer science.? I would possibly like to major in both.? However, as a first year student, I am required to pick just one program code on my application.? If I pick life science (which I intend to do), will I not have any computer science courses in my first year? Will I have to start computer science courses only in the second year, making it necessary for an extra year as an undergrad student?? How does this whole double major system work?
Thanks

Hey my little biochemical robot friend,
Finally I don’t have to break someone’s poor heart by telling them their dreams are unlikely.
WINNER WINNER
‘biochemical robot cooooome on down to your double major’
You choose a program of study when your applying, but you don’t ‘declare’ your majors until after you have completed 4 full credits (ie after 1st year). Here’s information on that shiiiz if you want to see for yourself.
It’s actually kind of expected that you choose one discipline and add others. As a an undergrad, you are required to declare either, two Majors, one Major and two Minors or one Specialist. What I’m saying is that:
first year courses are not limited too severely so you can probably take some for both subjects and that you can definitely graduate in the four years with a double major.
You’re good to go! Double Major and graduating on time, just the way to make father U of T proud.
With kind thoughts,
Aska
