Hi,
I am just starting my first year of undergraduate Life Science student in U?of T. After a month of experiencing and learning about my current program,?I am a bit concerned whether if I like to prosuade a career in this field.?Before applying for Life Science, I am participating alot in art and are?fascinated with architectures. I am just wondering if there is a?possibility for me to persuade a double major in both Life Science and?Architecturial Studies?
Also, I understand that the deadline for adding or deleting a course is?over for the fall sesion, but I just want to know if I could still apply to?architectural courses get into that course. If not, will there be courses?similar to that in the summer?
Thank you
?????????
Hey Tim,
Luckily, there aren?t any real restrictions on you adding on a second major in Architectural Studies. Like with your Life Science major, in the spring after the end of this school year, you?ll simply need to declare the Subject POSt on ROSI. However, if you don?t have the requirements for the program, you won?t get in. Thus, the only real issue would be lacking the needed first-year courses, but even then, all that will really happen is a slight slowdown in your pursuit of Architectural Studies.
For now, what you can do is try getting into the recommended first-year courses ARC213H1 and ARC132H1 to at least prepare you for the rest of the program.
Unfortunately, I can?t really tell you anything about this coming summer?s courses. That particular calendar won?t be available until around March 2013. However, last year in the summer of 2012 there weren?t any ARC courses offered so we?ll have to see if there are any for this year. But if you do want to pursue this major, it will call for courses of other codes (like ENV200H1 or GGR220H1 or ENG280H1) so you can possibly take those in the summer.
Cheers!
