double major?
so i want to double major in both Sociology and English honors

how do i do that? is there an option when i pick my majors for double majors, or do i apply at two different times? i am just confused with how to actually apply for it - seeing as they are in 2 different faculties.

Are you in 1st year?

After 1st year you get to go on MUGSI again and pick what you'd like to double-up in. Then later on they will say which you are accepted or rejected in. You get 4 choices, double majors will be one of the choices available, as will single honours, and just a major. You get 4 and you should use them all up but sometimes, like me, you know what you want with only one choice. (I made my 4th choice a double major in religion and politics; I just didn't know what else to take and I like God.) However, you need to actually have certain courses to pick those majors, obviously. For example, I picked religion in combination with poli sci but never actually took religion--. You can do inter-faculty double majors, especially in the humanities and social sciences.

If you got any issues ask advisors but it will be made pretty clear when the time comes.

There will be information sessions coming up put on by your faculty that will help explain the process. CHECK YOUR MUSS MAIL or you will miss the dates and times for these. They will lay out exactly what you need to do and then you will go on MUGSI apply for your programs and you will find out after grades are finalized if you got into the programs. After you find out which ones you got into you have to pick one. If you didn't get into any of them you can shadow the desired program but that is something to talk to an adviser about, don't worry about it yet.

The info fairs are coming up very soon. I know for Humanities, I got an e-mail and I had to sign up for a session... so you might want to look into that since they probably go fast.

FYI: This is from MUGSI

So you can start your selection process starting on March 10th! Good luck to you all!

is it possible to do a double major if you only do a B.A, without honors?

No, with the exception of Indigenous Studies and something else. That's the only program that let's you do a double major at the BA (no Honors) level.
