Quebec doesn't force to pass by the major/minor system. It exists, but is not the main way.
I'm doing a (Specialised) Chemistry Bachelor's Degree.

Economics and Political Science

[Donerail]

Want to do Political Science and International Relations, but still in high school (technically still in middle school for 8 more days, but whatever).

I'm in high school, but general music will be my major if it's offered at the school I get in to, voted economics as well cuz that'd be my major if the school doesn't offer general music.

Marketing and Public Policy, which both fall under business.

Er, no psychology, the most common major on college campuses?

Anyway, linguistics and psychology.  I voted for "other social science".

Er, no psychology, the most common major on college campuses?

Categories are based only on my expectations. Other than you and Xahar, I don't know of any posters who have mentioned studying psychology or its related fields.

Oh, I studied Psychology at the beginning, until I realized that it was basically a scam concocted by psychos or near psychos who needed to find a job.  And then I moved on to Poli Sci, that chaotic largely anecdotal field where quantitatively challenged folks play with numbers trying to pretend they got better than a "C" in algebra.  That lasted until I realized it was yet another scam, this time concocted by insensitive mono-dimensional megalomaniacs. And then after a detour into the Humanities (the less said about that the better), I found Economics, which rather hyperbolically calls itself a "science," but then it did muscle its way into its own category for the Nobel Prize so don't mess with it, or it may hurt you). Unlike with the first trio of clunkers, I really liked its act, in particular the one that most elegantly provided a moral justification as to why there are rich people and poor people, and that making money is good, and taxing it too much is bad. Eureka, this is the place said I to myself! Why did it take me so long?!  And then I found the law, the game there being to make it all so magnificently complex with tons of pretentious Latin and French (those damn Normans) words and phrases, the better to create barriers to entry to the masses, and increase the going hourly billing rate.  There I honed my skills as to how to make many folks poorer, and myself richer, all in accordance with that glorious invisible hand (except of course to the cognoscenti of whom I was now one, per my above referenced penultimate field of study, for whom the hand was not only visible, but fisted). My current field of study is not appropriate to discuss here. I think that about sums it up.

I love you, Torie.

What are we studying, drug production?

When I first went to college it was general studies/aviation...but I dropped out in '94....all of my college credits since then have been in the field of computers/electronics/generic.  No degree, though I have well more than enough for an associates for whatever that's worth.

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

Other humanities: Japanese Language and Literature.

Other - E-Commerce.  My major was very young at my school when I matriculated in June 2001.  It was one of the very few schools in the country to offer that as a major and it was only in its second year of being offered at Northwestern Oklahoma State University in Alva, Oklahoma.  I think the only big-name school I can think of that offered it was Clemson.  Unfortunately, E-Commerce is no longer offered as a degree program at NWOSU, so usually when I put down on resumes what my degree was, I'll switch between Business and Computer Science, usually the latter which was my minor.

[Oakvale]

We don't have the major/minor system, but I'm studying computer science.

[anvi]

Changed a few times.  I started out as a computer science major.  I had written statistics programs in BASIC on Apple iic-s and e-s for my school's sports teams when I was in high school, and figured I could make a career out of it.  After two and a half years of that, I got bored out of my skull learning how to do the same stuff in seven languages and simple heuristics in Prologue.  Plus, my dad died when I was 20, and I figured I should do something that interested me.  I was already interested in philosophy, but no philosophy major in my hometown, so I switched, intending to double-major in history and English.  Did that for a year and a half, then transferred to UND and finished a double-major in philosophy and religious studies in one year before going to grad school.

International Studies (focus on Latin America)
and
Environmental Studies

Yep, the perfect hippie man combo, choosing a high-paying career path never crossed mind.

So, how does exactly works a minor-major system, and what someone wishing to have an Architecture graduation would have for undergraduation?
