Bachelor of Arts - Two Majors and a Minor (is it possible?)

Hello everyone,

I'm undertaking the Bachelor of Arts and am planning to complete a double major in Politics and International Studies as well as Criminology. Is it possible to complete an additional minor in Anthropology possibly through the use of my breadth slots?

Thank you.

As anthropology is a part of the arts faculty, you won't be able to do those subjects as breadth. Breadth has to be subjects from a faculty outside your own. However, say you wanted major in politics and minor in crim (or vice versa) then you'd still have some electives free to complete a few anthropology subjects.

Either way, you can do a mix of all three subjects in first year and then decide in your second year which you really want to major/double major/minor in.
The dreams that you dare to dream really do come true.

I think the max you can do is double major and fulfill the breadth requirements. Also, you are first year; you can set your subjects up to major or double major in a few things in second year.

Take a load off, do your criminology and politics majors with anthropology as breath if possible.
