In order to get this degree, a student would
have to complete all of the requirements for an Honours BA plus the
following requirements for the Faculty of Science with a minimum
average of 60% in the required Science and Mathematics courses. - 1.0 unit from the Faculty of Mathematics. The following cannot be counted as credits towards a joint Science degree: MATH 103, MATH 104, or any MTHEL courses.
- Two of the following Year One sequences*:
a) Two 100- or 200-level BIOL courses plus the associated labs;
b) CHEM 120/123 plus the associated labs;
c) EARTH 121/122 plus the associated labs;
d) PHYS 111/112, or 121/122, or 121/112 plus the associated labs. - 4.0
lecture units (8 additional half unit courses) plus associated labs
from Biology, Chemistry, Earth Science, Physics, or Science (except SCI
237 and 250) at the 200-, 300-, or 400-level.
- No more than 1.0 SCI unit may be used towards the joint degree.
*Note:
Any 100-level Biology courses not required to meet the First-Year
Science requirement will be counted as 200-level Biology courses.
(The
joint plan will have to be approved by the Associate Dean of Science
and the Undergraduate Officer of each of the individual Joint Honours
departments in Arts.)
This will require a total of 7.0 lecture
units (14 courses) plus units for the labs which will have to be done
but which will not be included in the 7.0 Faculty of Science units.
It
would still be possible for a student to earn a minor in any of the
science subjects. Thus, a student could get a "BA, Honours X and
Science" or "BA, Honours X and Science (Biology Minor)."
It is highly unlikely that the requirements for an honours BA and the joint Science degree could be done in 8 terms.
