Hello!
I’m interested in both sciences and humanities. Is it possible to double major in these? Say, biology and history? Would I need to apply to Life Science and Humanities separately in OUAC or will only applying to Life Science be enough?
Thanks!
Michelle

Hey Michelle,

So in the Faculty of Arts and Science, you can double major in any subjects from it, meaning a bio and history combo is definitely possible.

Now here’s the trickier part. Basically, your course selection is sorted by your stream in first-year. Unfortunately, given the different fields you’re interested in, you can either enter as a Life Science student (for example) or perhaps a Humanities one, giving you first dibs on the courses within those streams.

Personally, I recommend maybe entering as a Humanities student simply?because… well, basically anyone can take an English or History course, but to get into Bio will actually come with prerequisities that you’ll probably have. Granted, this is just my opinion. I suppose you should speak to your guidance councilor and get their two cents, but I wouldn’t worry too much!

Cheers!

    Hey, I can’t figure out how to ask a question :/ so I’m asking it here.

    I want to do Arts, Sciences and Humanities from UofT. But when I selected the co-op combined degree option in the OUAC form, I didn’t get asked what college I’d prefer. On the other hand when I picked just humanities I got the option. Does that mean if I do the co-op degree then I won’t get to be part of a college? 🙁

    Also, what residence would you recommend? I’m mostly a quiet person and I’d be comfortable in an all-female dorm or something (being female myself…) But most importantly, I’ll be more or less broke and need to be as close to my classes as possible.

    Thanks!
