Hello!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
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?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Thanks!<\/div>\n

Hey Michelle,<\/p>\n

So in the Faculty of Arts and Science, you can double major in any subjects from it, meaning a bio<\/span><\/a> <\/span>and history<\/span><\/a> <\/span>combo is definitely possible.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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!<\/p>\n

Cheers!<\/p>\n
