Advisor
- Ms. R. Hotell, Faculty Assistant
This degree program provides broad education in several fields with specialization in at least two. It requires two minors chosen from below, one of which must be in the Faculty of Science. Restrictions for the combination of minors is listed below.
Students must have their selection of minors for the BSc general science program approved by the program advisor as early in their program as possible.
Only one minor may be selected from each of the following six subject areas.
• biological sciences, environmental toxicology, kinesiology
• molecular biology and biochemistry, chemistry, environmental chemistry
• mathematics, statistics, computing science
• physics, nuclear science
• earth science, physical geography
• archaeology, psychology
Because of the proximity of subject matter, the following combinations of minors are not acceptable:
• biological sciences, molecular biology and biochemistry
• molecular biology and biochemistry, environmental toxicology
• chemistry, nuclear science
• kinesiology, molecular biology and biochemistry
• environmental chemistry, environmental toxicology
Writing, Quantitative, and Breadth Requirements
Students completing degree programs must fulfil writing, quantitative and breadth requirements as part of their program. See “Writing, Quantitative, and Breadth Requirements” on page 7 for information.
