General Science Double Minor

Bachelor of Science

This bachelor of science (BSc) degree program provides broad education in several fields, with specialization in at least two.

Program Requirements

Students complete 120 units, as specified below.

Minor Requirements

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.

Any two minors from the Faculty of Science may be combined to complete the BSc in general science program.

Alternatively, one minor from the Faculty of Science and one minor from outside the Faculty of Science can also be combined to complete the BSc in general science program. Note the Faculty of Science minimum credit requirements below.

Lower Division Requirements

Students complete one of

BISC 101 - General Biology (4)

An introduction to the biochemical and physiological mechanisms of living organisms. Topics covered include cell structure and function, DNA replication and the flow of genetic information, enzyme function, metabolism and physiology of microorganisms, plants, and animals. Prerequisite: High school biology 12 (or equivalent) with a C grade or better, or BISC 100 with C- or better, or BISC 113 with C- or better, or HSCI 100 with C+ or better. Breadth-Science.

Upper Division Requirements

The following general requirements must be satisfied.

A minimum of 80 credits in the Faculty of Science, of which at least 28 must be upper division.

A 2.0 grade point average (GPA) in upper division courses is required for each of the two subject area minors.

Note that some Departments have minimum grade requirements for prerequisite courses. Consult departmental advisors about selection of upper division courses in subject minors.

Faculty of Science Degree Requirements

In addition to the above requirements, students must also satisfy Faculty of Science degree requirements to complete a minimum of 120 units including additional upper division units to total a minimum of 44 upper division units.

Writing, Quantitative, and Breadth Requirements

Students admitted to Ά‘ΟγΤ°AV beginning in the fall 2006 term must meet writing, quantitative and breadth requirements as part of any degree program they may undertake. See for university-wide information.

WQB Graduation Requirements

A grade of C- or better is required to earn W, Q or B credit

Additional Breadth 6 units outside the student’s major subject (may or may not be B-designated courses, and will likely help fulfil individual degree program requirements)

Students choosing to complete a joint major, joint honours, double major, two extended minors, an extended minor and a minor, or two minors may satisfy the breadth requirements (designated or not designated) with courses completed in either one or both program areas.

 

Residency Requirements and Transfer Credit

The University’s residency requirement stipulates that, in most cases, total transfer and course challenge credit may not exceed 60 units, and may not include more than 15 units as upper division work.

Elective Courses

In addition to the courses listed above, students should consult an academic advisor to plan the remaining required elective courses.
