<p>The University of Toronto does. I don’t know about other Canadian universities.</p>

<p>You can probably find each university’s academic policies online. I found Toronto’s in the [New</a> Student Guide](<a href=“https://www.uc.utoronto.ca/images/stories/Registrar/Documents/UC%20New%20Students’%20Guide%202011%20-%20final.pdf]New”>https://www.uc.utoronto.ca/images/stories/Registrar/Documents/UC%20New%20Students’%20Guide%202011%20-%20final.pdf).</p>

<p>does a dual major mean double the cost since I guess I will have to take twice the number of credit hours compared to a single one ?</p>

<p>Again, this depends on the university. Toronto distinguishes between specialists, majors and minors. Students need one of the following to graduate:</p>

<ul>
<li>1 specialist (means taking basically all of your courses in a single subject)</li>
<li>2 majors</li>
<li>1 major and 2 minors</li>
</ul>

<p>That means that you could double-major at Toronto without taking any additional classes. </p>

<p>I would encourage you to read the academic policies at a couple more Canadian universities to get a feeling for the university landscape there. You wouldn’t want to bet your future on an anonymous stranger on the internet anyway, would you?</p>

<p>yea I see what you mean,obviously I need to clarify all the facts with the universities I am looking at.
but dual majors won’t be respected as much as just a single major out of the two because I’ll have to take the same number of classes either ways,right ?
thank you very much :)</p>

<p>No they don’t.</p>

<p>^ That’s clearly false. See posts #2 and 4.</p>

<p>do they provide dual majors in two different engineering fields ?
like ME+EE or any other combination?</p>

<p>Why don’t your learn how to navigate a university website? Then you could find the answer to such questions yourself, faster than we could answer them for you!</p>
