Honours Physical Science (With a Minor)

The requirements and schedules are the same as for Honours Physical Science. Minor subjects which can be taken are biochemistry, biophysics, biotechnology, chemistry, computing and information science, geology, physics, mathematics, statistics, mathematical science, and business administration. Details of specific course requirements are given after the specialized programs in the respective subjects where appropriate. A minor in another subject area not here listed may be taken with the approval of the deans concerned. Subject to the approval of the dean of the college in which the student is enrolled, the total science requirement may be reduced to 28 courses in order to permit a student to take a minor in a humanities or social science area.

The Total Requirements for the Honours Physical Science Program are as follows:

*Approved course lists are available in the Dean's Office, College of Physical and Engineering Science.

First Year Science Core: Two courses beyond the Grade 13 level in each of biological science, chemistry, mathematics and physics - 8 courses.

*Acceptable physical science courses, including at least 8 courses at the 300 and 400 level of which 4 courses must be at the 400 level - 16 courses.

*Acceptable science courses from biological science, chemistry, computing and information science, engineering, geology and geomorphology, mathematics, physics, statistics or other sciences - 8 courses.

*Acceptable arts and social science courses - 4 courses.

Additional acceptable courses (these may include 1 of 15-102, 19-106, 76-102 - 4 courses.
Total : 40 courses

At least 12 of the science courses must be at the 300 or 400 level.

Honours Major Program (With or Without a Minor)

The recommended courses for semesters 1 and 2 and the total course requirements are the same as for the Honours Physical Science program.

Major programs are available in biochemistry, chemistry, mathematics, physics, and statistics. Details of the specific course requirements of the major are given after the specialized program in the respective subject.
