Thanks a lot breadth requirements
Just checking back with the crim department requirements for my major and I need 12 credits in upper division that isnt crim,
and because of breadth requirements wasting all my electives in diversifying my classes, especially the two science credits which are completely and utterly unrelated to any classes i did want to take...i only have the proper prereqs to enroll in psyc upper division if i take psyc 210 :omg:
i only have 6 elective classes left i can take, and four of which have to be upper division, so theres pretty much no way i can do any department besides psyc or for my upper div since i wont have the proper prequisities...all i can do is psyc, and by a stretch poli or eng, unless i go over 120 credits which i really dont want to do. I realllllllllly wanted french
im left with one alternative which is a joint major in psyc and crim, but i never wanted to enroll in psyc in the first place, but its doable, is there any point getting a joint major? i know a ba is just a ba but any better than a minor?

Comments
when i could have been taking french classes all along which is something i could have really enjoyed and USED in the real world...sure i could have just majored in french but i didnt want to
and i know if i dont like it i could have gone to another school but only sfu had the crim degree so i had to accept their rules
im just venting :secret: once this semester is over and these science breadth requirements are gone ill be more chill
Upper Division Requirements
Students Must Complete a minimum of 48 credit hours in courses as set out below.
Of the 48 credit hours, students are required to complete a minimum of 36 credit hours in criminology (excluding Crim 301), which must include the following four courses.
Crim 300-3 Current Theories and Perspectives in Criminology
Crim 320-3 Quantitative Research methods in Criminology
Crim 321-2 Qualitative Research methods in Criminology
Crim 330-3 Criminal Procedure and Evidence.
Please see “Criminology CRIM” on page 361 for the listing of upper division criminology courses.
An Additional 12 required credit hours may be chosen from Criminology or other disciplines excluding Crim 301.
or is there something i'm missing?
and for upper level psych, just declare a psych minor and then have the research course waived, do what you need/want to and then tell them you're no longer doing the minor
Took Phil 100 for my writing credit and it was part of my degree.
Took Phys 101 for my science credit, huge joke.
Took Crim 101, 135 for my b-soc and they are for my minor, no loss there
Took Hist 101, 106 for my b-hum and they were interesting and good for my grades, no loss there.
The Crim boys will still have to deal with their program breadth requirement though, although they can probably get dual credits for the breadth courses. Just make sure you take some breadth courses that you are sure will not hurt your GPA.
