The non-specialist bachelor of general studies (applied sciences) degree offers a broad education with an applied orientation, and is available as a general applied sciences option or a double minor option.
Admission Requirements
Faculty of Applied Sciences students may apply for admission to the general applied sciences option or the double minor option at any time. Students in other faculties may apply for the double minor option upon acceptance into two qualifying minors by the schools or departments concerned.
Limited spaces are available for students transferring to the general applied sciences option from other faculties. Admission is competitive, based on a GPA in upper division applied sciences courses. At least nine units of upper division applied sciences courses with a 2.25 GPA is required for admission.
Enrolment in the upper division courses of a particular school may be limited to those bachelor of general studies students who also meet the admission standards of that school. Admission to the BGS program may not be used to bypass the enrolment limitations of any other applied sciences program.
Program Requirements
Students complete 120 units overall for the degree, including 45 upper division units. A 2.00 graduation CGPA and UDGPA is required.
General Applied Sciences Option
Students complete 30 upper division Faculty of Science and Faculty of Applied Sciences units subject to the following.
• no more than nine units of these courses may be from the Faculty of Science
• Faculty of Applied Sciences residency requirements must be satisfied. See “Residency Requirements” on page 76.
• a 2.00 GPA is required on the courses used for the general applied sciences option.
For this requirement, MACM courses are counted as School of Computing Science courses.
Students may satisfy the double minor option by completing two minors (or extended minors), at least one of which must be in the Faculty of Applied Sciences.
