<p>Is anyone doing this right now? </p>
<p>I looked through the catalogue of courses offered, and there seems to be a lack of creative writing courses. While I love the analytical part of english, I wouldn't want to have an entire absence of creative writing either...can anyone discuss this? Are there actually courses there that I may have overlooked? Is there a way to do some writing courses at another university through Mcgill?</p>
<p>Also, I'd like to do some sort of biology minor. How exactly do majors/minors work at Mcgill?
Is it hard (logistically) to do a minor in a different faculty?</p>
<p>Any input would be appreciated!! Thanks!</p>
<p>hi! i am an english literature and economics major at mcgill.
i’m rather sorry to say that to my knowledge there are only 1 or 2 creative writing courses at mcgill. On top of this you have to apply to them with a portfolio of your work so you cannot take them your first semester.</p>
<p>You should check out Concordia’s creative writing course offerings because thats an easy way to take classes McGill doesn’t offer and its only a few metro stops away.</p>
<p>As for minoring in another faculty, here is the link to the biology minor for arts students page: [Department</a> of Biology - Undergraduate Studies: Minor Programs - Science for Arts Students](<a href=“http://biology.mcgill.ca/undergrad/minorprog_sciarts.html]Department”>http://biology.mcgill.ca/undergrad/minorprog_sciarts.html)</p>
<p>Additionally- if you’re trying to make your schedule i would recommend using this website [Smart</a> Minerva](<a href=“http://registersmart.org/]Smart”>http://registersmart.org/) It has saved me from ripping my hair out countless times due to how incredibly frustrating Minerva is. </p>
