Interfaculty of Arts and Sciences

<p>So the Interfaculty of Arts and Sciences has a tuition of $14,000 while the Faculty of Science has a tuition of $20,000 (according to web-site). Although I believe I would prefer the Faculty of Sciences, my parents will not let me choose that Faculty for $6000 more a year. </p>

<p>I have a couple concerns:</p>

<p>-Does the interfaculty have as much camaraderie as the the Faculty of Arts and the Faculty of Sciences? I heard that the individual faculties form their own tight-knit community.</p>

<p>-How restrictive is scheduling in the interfaculty? I know I want to pursue a Ph.D in Evolutionary Biology after undergrad and take many evolution courses at McGill. Will I have a hard time doing this since I have to take many liberal arts courses?</p>

<p>I am a fan of the liberal arts but I just hope the Interfaculty is not too restrictive to my academic plans.</p>

<p>the facutly of arts and sciences is relatively new (< 5 years) and each student follows a very individualized program, so I am unsure of the camaraderie. you shoudl nto be too concerned though, you will form a camaraderie within your classes and with the science kids and with the arts kids. these tight-knit scenarios are only apparent during frosh and carnival, and largely apply to management and engineering… who tend to stay close together and only have classes with each other.</p>

<p>arts and sci are very interrelated and you will meet tons of kids from both faculties as a member of ArtSci</p>

<p>in terms of Evolutionary Bio stuff, you should not have a problem. Look at the ArtSci descriptions in the course calendar online, but i believe you can take most of the classes as you wish within either program.</p>

<p>Thank you very much for the insight! Unless I get a major scholarship, I will choose the interfaculty.</p>
