Our Degrees

We offer Bachelor of Science (BSc) programs in numerous areas of modern science. Most of our degrees are four years in length, with the exception of the Science and Education combined degree, which is five years.

Four types of degrees are available: General Science, Specialization, Honors or BSc/BEd combined. For an explanation of the four degrees visit here.

The Faculty of Science has a list of common high school entrance requirements for most programs. Transfer requirements however, will vary by program. Please visit our Admission pages for more details.
