Administrative Assistant, Alice Witvoet (905) 688-5550, extension 3412 Mackenzie Chown B210 The department offers four-year programs of study leading to a BSc honours in Physics, a BSc honours Co-op option in Physics, a BSc with a Major in Physics and a three-year BSc pass degree program. Students may take a single major in Physics or a combined major with Biological Sciences, Chemistry, Computer Science, Earth Sciences or Mathematics. The core of the program is designed to provide an understanding of the principles and fundamental interactions of classical and quantum physics as well as many applications of these principles in technology and everyday life. It is possible for non-Physics degree students to take advanced courses, provided they have the physics and mathematics required in the year 1 Physics program. An experimental physics path of PHYS 2P31 and 3P92 or a modern physics path of PHYS 2P50 and 3P91 are possible. The Physics Co-op program combines academic and work terms over a four and one-half year period. Students spend two years in an academic setting, where they acquire the necessary background prior to taking the first work placement. In addition to the current fees for courses in academic study terms, Communications Studies Co-op students are assessed an annual administrative fee (see the Schedule of Fees). Admission to the Co-op program is on the basis of marks, a review of personal résumés and employer availability. An interview may be required. The normal requirement is a minimum 80 percent average on six OACs (or equivalent). As this is a limited enrolment program, admission is not guaranteed by the attainment of the minimum requirement. Students will be required to maintain honours standing (minimum 70 percent major average and minimum 60 percent non-major average) in order to continue in the Physics Co-op program. The Co-op Programs Office and the Faculty of Mathematics and Science will facilitate admission decisions. Students admitted to the Physics Co-op program must follow the Physics Co-op program schedule. Eligibility to continue is based on the student's major average and non-major average. A student with a minimum 70 percent major average and a minimum 60 percent non-major average will be permitted to continue. A student with a major average lower than 70 percent will not be permitted to continue in the Physics Co-op program, but may continue in the Physics stream. The Physics Co-op program designation will be awarded to those students who have honours standing and who have successfully completed a minimum of twelve months of Co-op work experience. |
