Bachelor Program
To graduate in a Bachelor's program. A minimum overall grade point average of 4.0 (C) is required in order to be eligible to graduate with a BSc degree (bachelor program)
- the program core as specified in (i) above;
- the Faculty of Science and Engineering general education and 1000 level science requirements as in (ii) and (iii) above;
- an additional 18 science and technology studies credits from the STS curriculum courses for a total of a minimum of 30 credits from science and technology studies major courses;
- at least 18 science credits at the 2000 level or higher non-science and technology studies major courses as in (v) above;
- additional elective credits as required for a total of at least 90 credits, including at least 66 credits from science courses and of these, at least 18 credits at the 3000 level or higher.
Honours Programs
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 over all courses completed, subject to the exceptions in the notes below.
Note: In addition, a minimum cumulative credit-weighted grade point average of 6.0 over all science (SC) courses completed is required to declare, proceed and graduate in (i) the Honours Double Major program where biology is the other major, and (ii) the Honours Major/Minor program where biology is the major. (The minimum 6.0 science grade point average is not required where biology is the minor.)
Specialized Honours Program
- the program core as specified in (i) above;
- the Faculty of Science and Engineering general education and 1000 level science requirements as in (ii) and (iii) above;
- an additional 42 credits from the approved science and technology studies major courses (for a total of 54 science and technology studies credits);
- at least 18 science credits at the 2000 level or higher non-science and technology studies courses as in (v) above;
- additional elective credits as required for a total of at least 120 credits, including at least 90 credits from science courses and of these, at least 42 credits at the 3000 level or higher.
Honours Double Major Program
Possible subject combinations are listed under Undergraduate Degree Programs in Science Section 1.
Students should consult a program adviser to plan their studies in order to meet the program requirements of both majors and their prerequisites. Such programs are highly demanding and should be carefully considered by any student wishing to undertake this course of study.
- the program core as specified in (i) above;
- the Faculty of Science and Engineering general education and 1000 level science requirements as in (ii) and (iii) above;
- an additional 30 credits from the approved science and technology studies major courses (for a total of 42 science and technology studies credits);
- at least 18 science credits at the 2000 level or higher level non-science and technology studies courses as in (v) above;
- the course requirements for the second major;
- additional elective credits as required for a total of at least 120 credits, including at least 90 credits from science courses* and of these, at least 42 credits at the 3000 level or higher.
*Note: At least 66 credits in science courses if the second major is in arts.
Honours Major-Minor Program
- the program core as specified in (i) above;
- the Faculty of Science and Engineering general education and 1000 level science requirements as in (ii) above;
- an additional 30 credits from the approved science and technology studies major courses (for a total of 42 science and technology studies credits);
- at least 18 science credits at the 2000 level or higher non-science and technology studies courses as in (v) above;
- the course requirements for the minor;
- additional elective credits as required for a total of at least 120 credits, including at least 90* credits from science courses and of these, at least 42 credits at the 3000 level or higher.
*Note: At least 66 credits in science courses if the minor is in arts, fine arts, or environmental studies.
