Space and Communication Sciences (Applied Science
Streams)
Each
of the departments of Computer Science, Earth and Atmospheric Science,
and Physics and Astronomy offers a Specialized Honours degree stream
in Space and Communication Sciences.

ii)
All BSc Honours degree candidates must comply with general regulation
4 (Science section IV) by completing the following (in addition
to the 1000-level courses specified in the program core):
-
12
general education credits (see "General Education Requirements"
in Science section IV).
iii)
All BSc Honours degree candidates, in accordance with their declared
program, must comply with general regulation 6 (Science section
IV) and, in so doing, must also satisfy the course, credit and standing
requirements specified below.
iv)
All BSc Honours degree candidates must complete a noncredit industrial
internship (normally salaried) approved by the departmental Space
and Communication Sciences Coordinator. The minimum experience requirement
is a fourmonth placement, normally after the third year of study,
though terms of eight, 12 or 16 months are preferred.
Honours Programs
To
declare Honours requires successful completion of at least 24 credits,
a minimum cumulative credit-weighted grade point average of 6.0
over all Science (SC) courses completed, and a minimum cumulative
credit-weighted grade point average of 5.0 over all courses completed,
subject to the exception in the note below.
To
proceed in each year of an Honours program requires a minimum cumulative
credit-weighted grade point average of 6.0 over all Science (SC)
courses completed, and a minimum cumulative credit-weighted grade
point average of 5.0 over all courses completed, subject to the
exception in the note below.
To
graduate in an Honours program requires successful completion of
all Faculty requirements and departmental required courses, a minimum
cumulative credit-weighted grade point average of 6.0 over all Science
(SC) courses completed, and a minimum cumulative credit-weighted
grade point average of 5.0 over all courses completed, subject to
the exception in the note below.
Note:
Students admitted to York University prior to 1999-2000 may declare
Honours and proceed and graduate in Honours programs according to
the academic standards of the year in which they were admitted.
