<p>Hi everyone, I tried to find more information about the interfacutly program at Mcgill but couldn't find much..</p>
<p>Does anyone know how good is it? Is it basically like taking a double major?
Is it well recognized in the US (for graduate schools for example)?</p>
<p>Thank youuu !! :)</p>
<p>Hi if your in arts you can take courses in science and vice versa! There is also the Arts&Science faculty with mostly people who double major across faculties. For other faculties, minor will be easy to do interfaculty but majors can be tricky.
Interfaculty can also be a major and a minor it doesnt have to be two majors.</p>
<p>Im gonna bump this. id also like some more information regarding the arts and science faculty at mcgill.
how difficult is it to get accepted into the interfaculty program, as compared to the arts faculty?
and if you want to apply to both the arts faculty and the arts and science program, do you have to pay two application fees? or can they both be included in one application?
how does the difficulty of the interfaculty program compare to the arts one?
what are the downsides to doing the interfaculty program instead of just the arts program?</p>
<p>thank you!</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Little bit more difficult to get accepted I think although not too sure.</p></li>
<li><p>No, one application fee is enough.</p></li>
<li><p>Hard to say, especially since Arts is made up of several departments. There are some that are harder then the arts-science program like honours econ for example. </p></li>
<li><p>No downsides, really just depends on what your looking for. Most people who go into arts dont want to take anything in science but for those who do arts-science is a good choice.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Agree, might be a bit more difficult to get accepted compared to Arts, and yes, one application, with one fee, allows you to apply to two faculties of your choice.</p>
<p>It is my understanding that Arts & Science requires you to take either 2 majors, or 1 major with 2 minors. This results in a greater number of required courses leaving less room in your program for electives. Also, as far as I am aware, the Cognitive Science and Interfaculty Environment majors are only available to A&S students, so if either are of interest to you, you should definitely apply to A&S.</p>
<p>Below is some info from the McGill website:</p>
<p>"The B.A. & Sc. is not an “either arts or science” degree; it is a “both arts and science” degree. B.A. & Sc. students must register in one of the following:</p>
<p>the B.A. & Sc. Freshman Program, or
an interfaculty program (Cognitive Science or Environment, majors or honours), or
a Multi-track program (a Major Concentration in one faculty complemented by either a Major Concentration or two Minors/Minor Concentrations in the other faculty), or
a Joint Honours program (combining a Joint Honours program component from an Arts discipline with one from a Science discipline)."</p>
