Subjects of Major Interest

A subject of major interest is a specialization within a general degree program.

For example, a university might have a degree called "Arts", but through that program, you could potentially study several subjects of major interest, including History, Drama, Economics, English, French, Sociology, Philosophy, etc.

Usually, you will be asked to choose your "subject of major interest" when you apply.

Timing and Process for Admission Decisions

Early conditional offers of admission are extended as early as December 2026, based on final first-semester Grade 12, interim and/or final 3U/M grades.

All offers of admission are conditional pending the successful completion of the OSSD with a minimum of six 4U/M courses or equivalent, including any outlined conditions and program-specific prerequisite courses, with a minimum overall average as outlined in your offer (calculated using the best six 4U/M courses).
