Physics and Astronomy Note: The following BSc and BSc Honours degree requirements do not apply to students in the Space and Communication Sciences Stream of Specialized Honours physics and astronomy - for requirements for that stream, see Space and Communication Sciences in the Faculty of Pure and Applied Science Programs of Study section of this Calendar. i) With the exception noted above, all BSc and BSc Honours degree candidates must complete the program core: SC/PHYS 1010 6.0; SC/PHYS 2010 3.0; SC/PHYS 2020 3.0; SC/PHYS 2040 3.0; SC/PHYS 2060 3.0; SC/PHYS 2211 1.0; SC/PHYS 3040 6.0. (Note: All program core courses require mathematics prerequisites or corequisites.) ii) All BSc and BSc Honours degree candidates must comply with general regulation 4 (see the Faculty of Pure and Applied Science Regulations Governing Undergraduate Degree Requirements section of this Calendar) by completing the following (in addition to SC/PHYS 1010 6.0 from the program core):
iii) All BSc and BSc Honours degree candidates, in accordance with their declared programs, must comply with general regulation 5 or 6 (see the Faculty of Pure and Applied Science Regulations Governing Undergraduate Degree Requirements section of this Calendar) and, in so doing, must also satisfy the course, credit and standing requirements specified below. Bachelor Program To Graduate in a Bachelor Program. For students admitted to York University for 2001-2002 and subsequent years, the Senate of York University requires a minimum overall grade point average of 4.0 (C) in order to be eligible to graduate with a BSc degree (bachelor program). Students may follow a stream emphasizing physics or astronomy. Students in both streams must take the following courses:
In addition, there are the following stream-dependent course requirements: Physics Stream
Astronomy Stream
Honours Programs To declare Honours requires successful completion of at least 24 credits and a minimum cumulative credit-weighted grade point average of 5.0 (C+) over all courses completed, subject to the exceptions in the notes below. To proceed in each year of an Honours program requires a minimum cumulative credit-weighted grade point average of 5.0 (C+) over all courses completed, subject to the exceptions in the notes below. To graduate in an Honours program requires successful completion of all Faculty requirements and departmental required courses and a minimum cumulative credit-weighted grade point average of 5.0 (C+) over all courses completed, subject to the exceptions in the notes below. Notes: 1. In addition, a minimum cumulative credit-weighted grade point average of 6.0 (B) over all science (SC) courses completed is required to declare, proceed and graduate in (i) the Space and Communication Sciences Stream of Specialized Honours, (ii) the Honours Double Major program where biology is the other major, and (iii) the Honours Major/Minor program where biology is the major. (The minimum 6.0 (B) science grade point average is not required where biology is the minor.) 2. 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. Specialized Honours Program Students may follow a stream emphasizing physics, applied physics or astronomy. Students in all three streams must take the following courses:
In addition, there are the following stream-dependent course requirements: Physics Stream
Applied Physics Stream
Astronomy Stream
The Department of Physics and Astronomy also offers a BSc Specialized Honours degree Stream in Space and Communication Sciences whose degree requirements are specified in a separate entry in the Faculty of Pure and Applied Science Programs of Study section of this Calendar. Honours Double Major and Honours Major/Minor Programs An Honours Major in Physics and Astronomy may be combined with an Honours Major in another subject area in a BSc Honours Double Major degree program, or with an Honours Minor in another subject area in a BSc Honours Major/Minor degree program. Possible subject combinations are listed under Undergraduate Degree Programs in the Faculty of Pure and Applied Science Undergraduate Degree and Certificate Programs section of this Calendar. Early planning of courses in all combined programs is strongly advised so that the necessary prerequisites for courses in both departments are met.
Honours Major Students may follow a stream emphasizing physics or astronomy. Students in both streams must take the following courses:
Note: The following courses are required as prerequisites or corequisites for the courses above: SC/MATH 1013 3.0; SC/MATH 1014 3.0; SC/MATH 1025 3.0; SC/MATH 2015 3.0; SC/MATH 2270 3.0. SC/MATH 3271 3.0 is a prerequisite or corequisite for SC/PHYS 3020 3.0. In addition, there are the following stream-dependent course requirements: Physics Stream
Astronomy Stream
Honours Minor Students may follow a Stream in Physics or a Stream in Astronomy in the minor subject area. Students in both streams must take the following courses:
Note: The following courses are required as prerequisites or corequisites for the courses above: SC/MATH 1013 3.0; SC/MATH 1014 3.0; SC/MATH 1025 3.0; SC/MATH 2015 3.0; SC/MATH 2270 3.0. SC/MATH 3271 3.0 is a prerequisite or corequisite for SC/PHYS 3020 3.0. In addition, there are the following stream-dependent course requirements: Physics Stream
Astronomy Stream
