How can I go from the Humanities admission category into the program of study I’m interested in?
Since you are admitted to the general Humanities admission category, during your first year you will not be enrolled in a specific program. This program selection (e.g. major in international relations) is made at the end of your first year. During your first year, you will be able to explore a number of different areas of study before selecting your program. You can also combine programs outside of your own admission category, excluding programs in Rotman Commerce.
It is important to note that in addition to the courses required for admission into the Humanities admission category listed above (English), some programs of study may require you to take additional specific high school subjects in order to take specific courses in first year, or for entry into that program in second year.
How to prepare yourself for admission into your program of study at the end of first year
Step 1: Search for your desired program of study (e.g. international relations) under Program Area in the Academic Calendar
Step 2: Find the prerequisite courses you will need to take in your first year
Step 3: Find the program admission averages
Note: You can often locate the prerequisite courses and program admission averages under the following sections:
- enrolment requirements in the program accordions
- high school pre-requisites and first-year requirements
- program requirements
