This BSc degree provides an opportunity to develop a personalized study-plan to acquire the knowledge and skills necessary to pursue further undergraduate or postgraduate studies or careers. The program is ideal for those who plan to complete courses to meet the admission requirements to programs for which they are not initially qualified at the time of admission to the University. The requirement for graduation with a BSc in Sciences (Pass) is a minimum 60 percent overall average on completion of program requirements. The requirement for graduation with a BSc in Sciences (Honours) is a minimum 70 percent average in all credits taken from the Faculty of Mathematics and Science and a minimum 60 percent overall average on completion of program requirements. A BSc in Sciences degree will carry no major or area of concentration. Students electing to pursue the Sciences program should develop a program plan in consultation with an Academic Adviser in the Office of the Registrar or the Academic Advisor in the Faculty of Mathematics and Science. |
