you havent picked courses yet? Course selection was back in June =S that's why you'll find a lot of courses full by now.

this page tells you whats required.

and this one tells you more about the courses.

I believe bio 1A03 is only available to science students.

You should have picked courses months ago, and paid fees already...Talk to an advisor ASAP. You probably won't get into many of the more popular courses.

There are no REQUIRED courses for first year soc sci students, they are all electives. The idea of this is to basically introduce students to all of the academic branches of the social sciences that they could pursue in their further years. All courses are pre-requisites to second year courses for particular specific programs that need to be applied for, so you can work backwards if you know what you want to go into, or just pick courses you think you'll like and you'll end up majoring in something you enjoy; which is the ultimate goal anyway!!
