Should I do a triple minor?
Should I do a triple minor? I am only one course behind, but if I take that course I would have another lab for the term.... It's my final year and I don't know if I can return to it after I graduate....

When did you have the time to do this? Assuming you do take this course, this would mean you spent 72 units in electives, which seems insane.
Am I missing something?

I believe cross-listed courses can apply to each respective minor. I could be wrong, though. |

I have taken a lot of courses in Environmental Science and Religious Studies....
My major is Life Science, and right now I only need Geog 1HA3 or 1HB3 for my Environmental Studies minor. However, I have already completed my Environmental Science minor and on the verge of completing my Religious Studies Minor....
I am enrolled into a number of Rel Stu courses that assures me the minor, but I don't know if I should also take up a course from Geog for that 3rd minor....
It's my final year, btw.
A lot of my courses overlap in the science faculty, hence.

This is really a question of 'what does having a minor in geology mean to a potential employer'. What do you plan to do and do you really think they care if you minored in religion and geo? |

But when you sign up for a cross-listed course, you have to choose under what faculty you're taking it. For instance, 1CS3 is cross-listed as an English course and as a Culture Studies class, but you have to pick one. I don't think a clas can count twice. That'd be like cheating.

@RyanC
I was thinking of going into Teachers College, so a bit more interest in other subjects means I can teach more than just science courses and also allow me to teach a bit of religion and geography. Or, am I wrong?
@lizziepizzie
No, it doesn't seem to have a conflict with cross-listed courses when I check the degree requirements. Even if cross-listed, I still have another course to take its place.

I would do it. Not many people have triple minors. It will look good to potential employers; it shows you have motivation.

Well in that case its worth it. I'd take the course, and finish off your lab and maybe a few other interesting courses, provided you're employed for next semester (prolonging OSAP interest from starting before you go into teacher's college) |
