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.
Areas of study
- Applied Mathematics
The Applied Mathematics degree teaches you to use mathematical principles to solve real world problems. - Astrophysics
The Astrophysics degree looks at the physics behind cosmological objects and their interactions. - Biochemistry
Biochemistry teaches students to explore the chemistry of living organisms and the molecular basis for change occurring in living cells. - Biological Sciences
Biological Sciences is available as a major or minor in the BSc General degree, and allows you the flexibility to take a variety of courses from the life sciences. - Business Minor (BSc General)
Students in the BSc General degree can apply for a minor in Business. Applications are accepted after one year of study. A Business minor is also available in the Computing Science Specialization degree. (No direct entry from high school. Applicants must complete 1 year of pre-professional study prior to applying.) - Cell Biology
This life science takes a coordinated approach to the study of cells- the basic units of life. - Chemistry
Our program offers specialized training in the theoretical and practical components of Chemistry. - Computing Science
This program is an open Specialization allowing students to either pursue a concentrated study of computing science, or combine the study of computing science with another discipline. - Computing Science Business Minor
This program offers a good balance of business courses, giving you the opportunity to apply your Computing Science knowledge in any business environment. (No direct entry from high school. Applicants must complete one year of pre-professional study prior to applying.) - Computing Science Software Practice
This program is designed for students who are interested in all aspects of building software. - Ecology, Evolution and Environmental Biology
The study of the interactions of organisms with their environment, diversity of organisms both extant and extinct, adaptations, and mechanisms behind evolutionary change. - Education
Students interested in teaching science at the junior high and high school level, can consider our combined education program. This program is offered jointly with the Faculty of Education, and allows students to graduate with 2 degrees in 5 years. - Environmental Earth Science
This program examines how human behavior and activities affect our environment. (No direct entry from high school. Applicants must complete one year of pre-professional study prior to applying.) - Geology
Examine the planet Earth- the materials of which it is made, the processes which affect these materials and the origin and evolution of life. (No direct entry from high school. Applicants must complete one year of pre-professional study prior to applying.) - Geophysics
The Geophysics program uses principles from Physics to understand the structure and dynamics of the Earth below its surface. - Immunology and Infection
Immunology is the study of the physiological system that prevents or limits attack by infectious organisms. - Integrative Physiology
The processes that occur within all living organisms including the regulation of functions at the subcellular, cell, tissue, organ and whole organism levels, as well as their interactions and integration. - Mathematical Physics
This program looks at mathematical models and theories to create methods that are used to solve physical issues. - Mathematics
Our Mathematics degree examines the "pure beauty" of mathematics and its principles. - Mathematics and Economics
This program offers a diverse education in mathematics, finance, economics and actuarial sciences, and provides an excellent background if you are interested in careers in a financial career. - Mathematics and Finance
Similar to Mathematics and Economics, the Mathematics and Finance program offers a diverse education in mathematics, finance, economics and actuarial sciences. (No direct entry from high school. Applicants must complete one year of pre-professional study prior to applying.) - Mathematics-Computational Science
This program will allow you to combine your interests in mathematics and/or statistics with studies in computing science. - Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology
Students study molecular structures and processes of cellular life and their roles in the function, reproduction, and development of living organisms. - Neuroscience
This life science takes a coordinated approach to the study of cells- the basic units of life. - Paleontology
Examine the planet Earth- the materials of which it is made, the processes which affect these materials and the origin and evolution of life. - Pharmacology
Pharmacology is the study of the way in which chemical substances affect living organisms. - Physical Sciences
Physical Sciences is offered as a major or minor in the General Science program, as well as the BSc/BEd combined degree. It includes a blend of courses from both physics and chemistry. - Physics
Our Physics degree provides a strong background in modern physics, mechanics, thermodynamics, electromagnetism, relativity, quantum mechanics, statistical physics and laboratory work. - Physiology
This program provides an understanding of the way cells function and how tissues and organs work. (Emphasis is placed on human physiology) - Planning (Urban Planning)
Planners do more than just build cities. Growing cities mean more pressure on infrastructure, community services and transportation. As a result Planners must consider urbanization issues like quality of life, sustainability and competitiveness within their work.the origin and evolution of life. - Psychology
Our Science Psychology program focuses on how we perceive, learn and forget things and how the brain functions. - Statistics
The Statistics degree teaches advanced study in Statistics along with an area of application that uses statistics. you are given a list of areas to choose from upon entering the program.
