the arts and science program buffet

Hey Aska,
So I’m SURE you’ve had this question before, but I’ve been through your site and can’t find the answer…

I will be applying to U of T in (around) November of this year in order to (hopefully!) Be enrolled for Sept. Of 2014. My question is: can you major in something from one Department and Minor in something from another? I’m pretty sure I know the answer 🙁 It’s just that there are a long of things that look awesome to me… I’m looking to apply to the LifeSciences Cat. For Psychology … So that being said, it would be impossible to minor in “Ethics, Society, and Law” from the Humanities dept, right?

Sincerely,
I-wanna-study-everything.

I-Wanna-Study-Everything,

Haha, to be honest, I’ve answered this question maaaany times, but I haven’t been asked it in ages, so it’s fine!

Also, it’s quite refreshing after an inbox full of questions about probation/suspension/abysmal grades. 😉

Anywho, you are more than welcome to specialize/major/minor in whatever programs you’d like from the Faculty of Arts and Science.

So, for example, you can do a major in physical geography, do a minor in writing and rhetoric, and then another minor in visual arts. Or, if I’m being more you-oriented, yes, you can certainly double major in psychology and ethics, society and law — and I say double major because the latter program is a major program.

But yeah, feel free to pick and choose!

i wish i studied everything,
aska
