The BSc Sciences degree program is a program for students interested in creating their own customized program of study in the Sciences. A BSc Sciences degree will carry no major or area of concentration. This program allows students to pursue courses in multiple scientific disciplines without the restrictions that accompany degree programs with specified majors. This program 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. This BSc Sciences program also provides an alternative pathway to major programs for students not initially qualified at the time of admission to the University. Students may choose to apply to a major program after the second year. Students should be aware that in transferring to another program, course prerequisites may be enforced. The requirement for graduation with a BSc Sciences (Pass) is a minimum 60 percent average in all qualifying credits (see program note 1) taken from the Faculty of Mathematics and Science and a minimum of 60 percent overall average on completion of program requirements. The requirement for graduation with a BSc Sciences (Honours) is a minimum 70 percent average in all qualifying credits taken from the Faculty of Mathematics and Science and a minimum 60 percent overall average on completion of program requirements. Students electing to pursue the BSc Sciences program should develop a program plan in consultation with an Academic Advisor in the Faculty of Mathematics and Science. |
