Joint Study Programs

Science and Arts

The Faculty of Pure and Applied Science and the Faculty of Arts jointly offer Honours Double Major and Honours Major/Minor programs where the major is from one Faculty and the second major or the minor from the other Faculty.

A student in the Faculty of Pure and Applied Science who has completed 24 credits in a BSc Honours program and satisfies the Faculty of Pure and Applied Science academic standards to proceed in Honours may combine the study of a Science major and an Arts major or minor in a BSc Honours Double Major or Honours Major/Minor program. Corresponding programs involving an Arts major and a Science major or minor lead to BA Honours Double Major or Honours Major/Minor degrees in the Faculty of Arts. All Honours programs require a minimum of 120 credits which can normally be completed in four years of fulltime study.

For a list of possible subject combinations for the BSc Honours degree programs, see "Undergraduate Degree Programs" above. For details of the Science major and minor requirements in specific subject areas, see Science section V. For details of the Arts major and minor requirements in specific subject areas, and for the requirements for BA Honours programs, see "Programs of Study" in the Faculty of Arts section of this Calendar.

Science and Education

A student wishing to obtain the professional certification required to teach in Ontario schools may take both teacher training and an undergraduate academic program concurrently. This does not shorten the time required to gain the qualification but provides a better chance for the student to relate theory and practice and to have more opportunity to gain practical experience than is possible in a oneyear program.

A student in Science who has completed a firstyear BSc or BSc Honours program with an overall standing of at least C+ may apply to coregister in the Faculty of Education. A coregistered student normally takes one and a half or two full courses in the Faculty of Education in an academic year concurrent with courses for the BSc or BSc Honours. The specific study program of each student is subject to the approval of both Faculties.

Upon successful completion of the course requirements for a BSc or BSc Honours, and of the required education courses, a coregistered student is awarded a BSc or BSc Honours and a BEd.

To provide a broad background in biology, chemistry and physics for Science teachers in the Junior/Intermediate Division (Ontario Grades 4-10), the Faculty of Pure and Applied Science offers a BSc in General Science. This Bachelor program is open only to Science students who are coregistered in the Faculty of Education Junior/Intermediate program and are declaring Science as their teaching subject. For specific degree requirements, see Science section V.

Science and Environmental Studies

The Faculty of Pure and Applied Science and the Faculty of Environmental Studies jointly offer Honours Major/Minor programs where the major is from one Faculty and the minor from the other Faculty.

A student in the Faculty of Pure and Applied Science who has completed 24 credits in a BSc Honours program and satisfies the Faculty of Pure and Applied Science academic standards to proceed in Honours may combine the study of a Science major and an Environmental Studies minor in a BSc Honours Major/Minor degree program. A corresponding program including a major in Environmental Studies and a Science minor leads to a BES Honours Major/Minor degree in the Faculty of Environmental Studies. Both programs require a minimum of 120 credits which can normally be completed in four years of full-time study.

For a list of possible Science majors for the BSc Honours degree program, see "Undergraduate Degree Programs" above. For details of the Science major and minor requirements in specific subject areas, see Science section V. For details of the requirements for a minor in Environmental Studies within the BSc Honours degree program, and for the requirements for BES Honours programs, see "Degree Requirements" in the Faculty of Environmental Studies section of this Calendar.

Science and Fine Arts

The Faculty of Pure and Applied Science and the Faculty of Fine Arts jointly offer Honours Major/Minor programs where the major is from one Faculty and the minor is from the other Faculty.

A student in the Faculty of Pure and Applied Science who has completed 24 credits in a BSc Honours program and satisfies the Faculty of Pure and Applied Science academic standards to proceed in Honours may combine the study of a Science major and a Fine Arts minor in a BSc Honours Major/Minor degree program. A corresponding program including a Fine Arts major and a Science minor leads to a BA or BFA Honours Major/Minor degree in the Faculty of Fine Arts. All Honours programs require a minimum of 120 credits which can normally be completed in four years of full-time study.

For a list of possible subject combinations for the BSc Honours degree program, see "Undergraduate Degree Programs" above. For details of the Science major and minor requirements in specific subject areas, see Science section V. For details of the Fine Arts minor and major requirements in specific subject areas, and for the requirements for Fine Arts BA Honours and BFA Honours degree programs, see "Degree Requirements" and "Programs of Study" in the Faculty of Fine Arts section of this Calendar.

Science and Seneca College

Rehabilitation Services

The Department of Psychology of York University and the Continuing Education Division of Seneca College of Applied Arts and Technology jointly offer a two-year certificate program in Rehabilitation Services. This program combines the last 30 credits for a York BSc Honours or BSc [or BA Honours or BA] in Psychology with appropriate courses in rehabilitation services offered by Seneca College and 800 hours of supervised field placement.
