Academic Plan
My academic plan has always been structured around successfully completing my degree in Economics with a minor in Global Development Studies while integrating interdisciplinary courses that enhance my knowledge and professional aspirations. I have completed all required courses within my program and relied on the SOLUS system to guide my course selection. Given the unexpected issue with GLPH 271 not counting toward my degree, my immediate academic plan is to resolve this petition so I can graduate as scheduled.
If my petition is granted, I will be able to complete my degree without any further delays. Since I have already fulfilled all other academic requirements, there is no need for additional coursework or program changes. My long-term academic and professional plan is to apply the interdisciplinary knowledge I have gained—particularly in economics, development studies, and health policy—in my career. My recent job offer from Plus Materials, which is contingent upon my graduation, reflects my commitment to transitioning from academic studies to the professional world.
If my petition is denied, I would need to take an additional course from the Faculty of Arts and Science, which would unnecessarily prolong my graduation timeline. However, given that I have already completed a rigorous and well-rounded course load, I believe granting this petition aligns with the educational objectives of my degree program and supports my academic and professional success.
