November 1, 2017 FACULTY OF SCIENCE

Degree programs in the Faculty of Science are offered in the areas of Computing Sciences, Life Sciences,
Mathematical Sciences, Physical Sciences, and Psychology. To see program overviews, learn about unique
opportunities to students within a program, and connect to admission and faculty resource links, review the
appropriate Admissions Program page. Pre-professional study options are available.
Special Study Features: You have the opportunity to participate in a Co-operative Education option that
gives you a solid academic background and valuable job experience in many of the Major or Honours degree
programs. If you are interested in this opportunity, note that you will typically enter a Major or Honours program
following Year 1, and transfer to the Co-operative Education Option in Year 3. Additionally, you have the
opportunity to participate in research through summer programs and 4th Year Honours projects.

DEGREES OFFERED IN THE FACULTY OF SCIENCE:

B.Sc. Honours: A four year degree providing a rigorous examination of a subject designed to prepare you for
graduate studies, professional programs or a high degree of specialization within your subject area. The B.Sc.
Honours degree requires high grade standards; you have the option to declare a Minor. Co-operative Education
options are available in most Honours degree programs.
B.Sc. Four Year Major: A four year degree providing in-depth study of a subject designed for students interested
in pursuing a career in a specific subject area. You also have the option to declare a Minor. Co-operative
Education options are available in most Four Year Major degree programs.
B.Sc. General: A three year degree providing a diversified training in Science. Choose the B.Sc. General if you are
looking for a general education in the natural and/or mathematical sciences, or if you plan to enter a program that
requires a degree. The B.Sc. General is not intended for students who want to practice in a field of specialization.

CHOOSING COURSES FOR THE B.Sc. FOUR YEAR MAJOR AND B.Sc. HONOURS DEGREES:

Admission to the Faculty of Science from University 1 is referred to as a ‘transit’, and therefore does not require an
application process for admission to the faculty. Once you have completed any 24–30 credit hours of course work
you are eligible to transit to the Faculty of Science B.Sc. General degree. You may be also eligible to transit directly to
a Faculty of Science B.Sc. Four Year Major program.
To be eligible for the B.Sc. Honours or B.Sc. Four Year Major degrees you must satisfy the specific course
requirements as outlined on the following program planning pages. Minimum grades in required courses are noted
in the Academic Calendar. If you enter the Faculty of Science under the B.Sc. General program, you can always
complete the specific requirements for a B.Sc. Honours or B.Sc. Four Year Major program following your transit
and apply to the program in Year 2 or 3.

The following pages include entries for all Honours and Four Year Major programs available in the Faculty of
Science. Double Honours and Double Major programs are also possible in Science.
Programs are divided into sections:
Computer Sciences | Life Sciences | Mathematical Sciences | Physical Sciences | Psychology
