Honours Programs

A. The groupings and the organization of the specializations under these groupings are somewhat arbitrary and some specializations might also fit into other categories.

B. Programs under a given grouping e.g. Biological generally use the same recommendations for course selection in semesters 1 & 2.

C. The different headings accentuate the variety and diversity of specializations available in the B.Sc. degree program.

D. Transfer to specialized programs within a grouping is usually easier than transfer into a program in a different grouping.

Schedules B and C

In order to qualify for graduation from the 8 semester honours B.Sc. program, the student must have completed successfully the courses approved for the program, and at least 60% of all course attempts excluding diploma courses, must be at grade 60% or better.

Note: A student registered in an honours program who has passed 40 or more course attempts but who has not achieved 60% or better standing in at least 60% of the total course attempts may be granted the degree from the general program.

Co-operative Education Program

Co-operative Education is available in a number of honours specializations in the B.Sc. program:

Applied Mathematics & Statistics
Biochemistry
Biophysics
Chemical Physics
Chemistry
Computing & Information Science
Food Science
Microbiology
Physics
Toxicology

Refer to the schedule of studies for each honours specialization to determine the course sequence to be followed and the work term schedule. Admission to the Co-operative Education program may be limited and to be eligible students must:

have an acceptable general average in semesters 1 and 2;
be a Canadian Citizen or Landed Immigrant;
successfully complete an interview with faculty in the appropriate college.

Application forms are available from the Deans' Offices and should be completed and submitted in April at the conclusion of semester 2, unless admission was granted on entry to the University.

Conditions for Graduation from the B.Sc. Co-operative Education Program

Conditions for graduation are the same as the corresponding regular B.Sc. program. In addition, all work reports must have a grade of satisfactory or better.
