Hi I am a newly admitted student for Fall 2011 and was wondering if we can do a BSc and BCom double major in St george? I want to study Chemistry (which I have applied for ) as well as Finance and Economics.
Thank you,
Vi

Hi Vi! Congrats on getting into U of T. Askastudent is big-upping you today. Way to go!
In your first year, keep in mind that you haven’t been admitted into a subject PoSt yet, so it shouldn’t affect your course selection or future plans if you later realize that Commerce and Chemistry aren’t for you. Usually though, students find the Commerce program at U of T kind of grueling (in a good way!) and like to concentrate on that stream instead of another, you know? However, I did have a friend who graduated with a double major in Commerce and Cinema Studies so you can definitely do it!
Basically you could graduate with a BCOM or a BSC as long as you fulfill 7 credits (and the program requirements) in both. But you would have to choose if you ultimately would like to have your degree show that you graduated with commerce or a science degree on your transcript. Up to you, and obviously since you are a newly admitted student, this is a long, long time away. So for now, enjoy your summer and we’ll see you for frosh week.
I obviously am picturing you as an enigmatic scientist by day, Wall Street trader by night.
