<p>I failed to apply for a secondary degree before. I was accepted into the class of 2014 for Arts and want to do a secondary degree in Management or Science. How should I do this? Is it too late?</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>i think its too late my friend but im sure u can next year do it</p>
<p>You’re accepted in arts, why do you want a secondary degree? I have a friend who was in engineering, decided to do math and cs as well (in the faculty of science; and really, he didn’t want to do engineering, but you know, parents…). Took an insane amount of courses (that you wouldn’t be allowed to anymore with Minerva due to conflicts and stuff). Technically, once you’re in, transfering faculties or getting into other programs can be done, it’s just a matter of filling out the right papers and what not (having the correct qualifications and requirements, plus the bureaucratic hassles, McGill’s known for red tape…). Going from one major to another in the same faculty is relatively simple, doing a joint major in 2 (or even 3) departments is possible (there’s plenty of those). Doing a separate degree (meaning another diploma) concurrently is usually insane.</p>
<p>Not really insane. Maybe for engineers and science students since their curriculum are very rigid. But arts students have plenty rooms in their curriculum. My roommate is in Arts and he takes Economics, comp sci, biology and … electric circuit I.</p>
<p>Your roommate is in Arts, doing one degree, or 120 credits in 4 years. Even if they’re all over the place and a joint major/honours, that’s the normal course load in terms of credits (joint programs just have less choice within each department). I’m talking about two degrees (that thus come with two diplomas), which requires at least 135 credits after Freshman, and take at least an extra year or two to complete compared to a single degree. The milder form of that (if it still exist) is the concurrent B.Sc. & B.Ed., intended for future HS teachers.</p>
