Programs of the College of Natural Sciences lead to Bachelor of Science degrees.
The Bachelor of Science degree program with Honours is designed for those students who wish to deepen and extend their studies in one particular field or area for the purpose of preparing themselves for graduate studies, or for entrance to a Faculty of Education or other fields of scientific endeavour.
Honours may be taken in Applied Physics, Biochemistry, Biology, Chemistry, Environmental Science, Geology, Integrated Science Studies, Physical Geography, and Psychology.
Bachelor of Science with Honours programs in Computational Sciences are available: Computational Biochemistry, Computational Biology, and Computational Chemistry
Combined Honours may be taken in Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Biology and Biotechnology, Biology and Geology, Biology and Physical Geography, Chemistry and Computer Science, Chemistry and Geology, Chemistry and Physics, Geology and Physical Geography, Mathematics and Physics and Neuroscience. The Integrated Science Studies program allows students to combine a science discipline with a non-science.
The detailed programs are given in the appropriate departmental sections of the Calendar. The Honours program of each student is under the direct supervision of an Honours adviser of the student's department.
The Faculty of Science consists of the College of Natural Sciences, the School of Computer Science and the School of Mathematics and Statistics. The College of Natural Sciences includes the Departments of Biology, Chemistry, Earth Sciences, and Physics, and the Institutes of Biochemistry and Environmental Science.
The program of the School of Computer Science leads to the Bachelor of Computer Science Honours degree. There are streams within the Bachelor of Computer Science in Software Engineering, Network Computing, Management and Business Computing, and Software and Computing. For information on the Bachelor of Computer Science program see p. 196.
Programs of the School of Mathematics and Statistics lead to Bachelor of Mathematics degrees. Honours and Major programs are available in: Mathematics, Computer Mathematics, and Statistics, as well as the Honours program in Computer Statistics. Combined Honours programs are available in Computer Science and Mathematics, Mathematics and Physics (B.Sc.), Mathematics and Economics and in Statistics and Economics. There are also combined B.Math./M.Sc. programs in Mathematics and in Statistics. For more information on the Bachelor of Mathematics programs see p. 339.
The Bachelor of Science degree program is designed to provide specialization in one field of study called the Major field while permitting students to select other courses from complementary fields or disciplines in which they have a particular interest. The Major fields include Biochemistry, Biology, Chemistry, Computational Chemistry, Geology, and Integrated Science Studies. The corresponding programs are detailed in the departmental sections of the Calendar.
Students in the B.C.S., Honours B.Math. and Honours B.Sc. degree programs have the opportunity to enrol in a Co-operative Education option in the degrees offered by the following departments and schools: Biochemistry, Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science Earth Sciences (Geology), Mathematics and Statistics, and Physics.
Students in Combined Honours programs in the Faculty of Science (including Computer Science) are eligible for Co-operative Education options. The number of work-terms required for the Co-op option in a Combined Honours program is the minimum of the number of work-terms required by the two participating individual Honours programs. Students must consult with and have the approval of the committee responsible for the program.
For general information on the Co-operative Education Option, please see p. 39.
Students of the Faculty of Science may enhance their program with one of the many Minors offered by departments throughout the university. The Faculty of Science offers Minors in Computer Science, Geographic Information Processing, Mathematics, and Statistics.
