GENERAL PROGRAMS
The fundamental objectives of all General programs are to develop
knowledge and understanding in the student's chosen major subject,
to enhance the student's appreciation of the wide range of human
endeavour in humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences,
and to maintain a balance between the first two objectives. General
Bachelor of Arts (BA) programs (page 54) are intended for students
majoring in any subject in the humanities, social sciences,
computing or biology; General Bachelor of Science (BSc) programs
(page 54) are intended for students majoring in the natural
sciences, mathematics, or computing. In addition, General BSc
programs emphasize the relationship between the student's
chosen major subject and other subjects in the natural sciences,
mathematics, and computing. In all cases,  students may choose to
enrich their studies by completing a secondary program in another
subject. This program may be a second major, a minor, or an
available option.

 Course Selection and Counselling
In First Year, the student is expected to select introductory
courses in a wide variety of subjects so as to fulfil some of the
Course Distribution requirements of the appropriate General
program, and to have completed the required introductory
courses for several possible majors prior to Second Year. The
student is advised to seek academic counselling from the Office of
the Dean of Arts and Science, from Chairs of Departments and
Co-ordinating Committees, or from members of the Faculty. In all
cases, however, it is the student's responsibility to select
courses satisfying all requirements for the degree.

 Selection of the Major
A major must be selected no later than the beginning of Second
Year. However, a student planning a Theatre major must register for
it at the beginning of First Year. The student may also choose a
second major, a minor, or an available option at any appropriate
time.

 Secondary Programs Available to General Students
A student in a General program may elect to complete, in addition
to the (first) major, all Common and Special Requirements for a
second major, a minor, or an available option. Courses counted
toward the (first) major may not be counted toward this secondary
program. All Common and Special Regulations for the second major,
minor, or option must be fulfilled.
