The program core (35 or 36 credits) is defined as:

Note: both SC/CHEM 1000 3.00 and SC/CHEM 1001 3.00 are required as prerequisites for SC/BIOL 2020 3.00 and SC/CHEM 2020 3.00 if they are chosen in the program core.

Bachelor Program

A. General education:

B. Major requirement:

C. Science breadth: 24 credits in science disciplines outside the major, of which three credits must be at the 2000 level or above. 21 of these 24 credits are satisfied by the above requirements.

D. Upper level: a minimum of 18 credits at the 3000 level or above.

E. Additional elective credits, as required, for an overall total of 90 credits.

F. Standing requirements: a minimum overall grade point average of 4.00 (C) is required in order to be eligible to graduate with a BSc degree (bachelor program).

D. Upper level: a minimum of 42 credits at the 3000 level or above.

E. Additional elective credits, as required, for an overall minimum total of 85 credits from science disciplines (including the major) and an overall total of 120 credits.

F. Standing requirements: 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 5.00 (C+) over all environmental biology and biology courses completed, and a minimum cumulative credit-weighted grade point average of 5.00 (C+) over all courses completed.

Honours Double Major Program

All BSc Honours degree candidates should consult departmental advisors as early as possible concerning course requirements for particular Honours Double Major programs. Possible subject combinations for BSc Honours Double Major degree programs are listed under Undergraduate Degree Programs in the Faculty of Science Undergraduate Degree and Certificate Programs section of this calendar.

A. General education:

B. Major requirements:
