Hey hello! I was just wondering about something I read in one of the U of T course guides, when I was in first year. It said that Arts and Science students can decide if they want to graduate with an Honours BSc or an Honours BA.<\/p>\n

Is this true? and if so, Is it possible to get the BSc if I am doing an economics and psychology double major? ( the psych is science and eco is social science)<\/p>\n

Is it also possible to get the BSc if i do the Eco major and poli sci and psych minors?<\/p>\n

Please let me know! Thanks a lot \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

???????????????<\/p>\n

Why it’s true! Isn’t that so great? U of T will give you the sexy, exhilarating option of choosing between a Honours BSc or Honours BA if you have the same amount of courses for both majors. It’s like choosing between chocolate and vanilla! Both are so delicious! Here is the calendar backing me up as proof:<\/a><\/p>\n

Bachelor of Arts\/Bachelor of Science<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Effective for all students registered for the first time in a degree program in the Faculty of Arts & Science for the summer 2001 session and thereafter, the St. George Campus of the Faculty has discontinued the 15 course (three-year) B.A. and B.Sc. degrees. Students registered in a degree program in the Faculty before Summer 2001 may still choose a 15-course (three-year) degree; these students should consult their college registrar?s office.<\/em><\/p>\n

Students with a B.A. or B.Sc. who return to upgrade that degree to an Hon. B.A. or Hon. B.Sc. must exchange the B.A. or B.Sc. for an Honours degree. A B.A. leads only to an Hon. B.A.; a B.A. CANNOT be upgraded to an Hon. B.Sc., and a B.Sc. CANNOT be upgraded to an Hon. B.A. Students who upgrade to an Honours degree are not eligible to attend the convocation ceremony for the upgrade.<\/em><\/p>\n

Different degree regulations apply to students who first registered in the Faculty before Winter Session 1992; these students should consult their College Registrar.<\/em><\/p>\n


\n<\/em><\/p>\n

Since the economics and psychology majors both require seven courses to obtain, you are good as gold, my friend. However, if you do the economics major with a double minor in poli sci and psych, you will be stuck with a plain old Honours BA, which as everyone knows IS MADE FOR SUCKERS.<\/p>\n

It’s your choice. Have your degree your way.<\/p>\n
