Taking Courses Outside of Your Department

Colleges and Universities A-Z McGill University

<p>Hello. From what I've read on the McGill website, I think this is possible, but can someone please confirm...</p>

<p>If I major in a physical science (in the Faculty of Sciences of course), that requires about 60 credits, so I am left with about 30 credits needed to graduate. With these credits, I can take a course in any department (except for the few that are on the no-credit list for the science degree). Is this correct? Are most courses in other departments open to students who aren't in that department? Ie. Can I take a French course each semester, and a math course each semester?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Yes, most undergrad courses are open to students throughout the university (unless the courses specifically says otherwise or your department will not grant credit for the course–those situations are the exception).</p>
