Health Sciences Honours

Bachelor of Science

This bachelor of science honours (BSc) program incorporates basic science courses (biology, chemistry, molecular biology and statistics) with HSCI courses about health and disease. Building on a solid base of basic biomedical and applied health science, students will receive advanced training in pharmacology, toxicology, pathophysiology and epidemiology, as well as molecular biology and genetics.

This program requires 120 units including at least 60 in the upper division.

Ά‘ΟγΤ°AV Requirements

Internal Transfer

Internal transfer allows students to transfer, within Ά‘ΟγΤ°AV, from one faculty to another. Students can apply for internal transfer into the Faculty of Health Sciences with a minimum CGPA of 3.0 and completion of HSCI 130-4 and one of the following 200-level HSCI courses: HSCI 211-3, HSCI 212-3, HSCI 214-3, HSCI 215-3, or HSCI 216-3 with a minimum grade of C- in these courses.

Minimum Grades

A 3.0 cumulative grade point average (CGPA) and a 3.0 upper division grade point average (GPA) is required for entry and must be maintained to graduate. Students must complete at least 120 units as specified below.

For a course to be accepted as fulfilling a lower or upper division requirement, or for a prerequisite to a required course, a minimum grade of C- is required.

Honours Requirements

Entry into the program requires sponsorship by a mentor from among Health Sciences faculty and approval of the Undergraduate Studies Committee.

Students must meet all requirements specified below including at least 60 units in the Upper Division, composed of required and elective courses, prerequisites, and other electives to meet the University's writing, quantitative and breadth (WQB) requirements. Also required are 9 to 15 course credit hours for a research-based honours thesis carried out under the direction of a faculty Supervisor, as follows:

HSCI 490 - Research Proposal (3)
