I’m just in the process of finishing my bachelor of arts with a major in anthro and history at u of t (will hopefully graduate in december) and have been considering going back to school to do a third major in psychology. Do you know how this process works? Would i have to go back for another four year bachelor or is it possible to go back focussing only on psychology and finish that up in a few (or more) semesters?Any info would help cuz i got no clue! thanks!

Hey there!
So I take it you love school, huh? Or maybe just U of T? It’s okay. I totally understand.
Anyhow, I talked to a very reliable source and the answer is no, you won’t have to complete another degree, because yes, you can come back after graduating with your two majors to do a third major in psychology. (My source also recommends you go talk to your college registrar about this question.)
Now this process might be a bit troublesome. Assuming you haven’t taken PSY100H1, you’ll definitely need to do that right away. If this is your last year, try fitting it in next semester. Or try taking it in the summer so that you can use it to apply to the POSt next April. You don’t necessarily need to be part of the program to take any courses that are 200-level and up, but you do need that course to take any other PSY courses.
I’d say that the quickest way to go about this major of 7.0 FCE would be to take PSY100H1 in the winter term, then maybe one or two more in the summer, then a full course load of 5.0 FCE during the 2013-2014 year, and then one final summer semester in early 2014. But do check out the requirements and see if you miraculously have any of them completed already.
Hopefully this helped you!
