†Investigative Science
Students must successfully complete a minimum of 1.5 units (three courses) that include a hands-on investigative component such as a field study, lab, or programming. Co‑requisite labs must be taken and passed but do not count toward the 1.5 units of investigative science. For example, KIN 100 Human Anatomy: Limbs and Trunk (0.50 units), and its co‑requisite KIN 100L Human Anatomy Lab (0.25 units) count as one course (0.50 units) for the purposes of satisfying the investigative science requirement.
The investigative science requirement cannot be satisfied with any “SCI”-labelled or “SCBUS”-labelled units.
Students are not limited to first-year courses. They can satisfy the investigative science requirement with a sequence of courses, one prerequisite to the next, such as:
EARTH 121 The Planet We Live On (0.50), and
EARTH 121L Introductory Earth Sciences Laboratory 1 (0.25)
EARTH 122 The Planet We Live Off (0.50), and
EARTH 122L Introductory Earth Sciences Laboratory 2 (0.25)
EARTH 231 Mineralogy (0.50)
Students are not limited to courses with co-requisite labs. They can satisfy the investigative science requirement with courses that include hands-on investigative components, such as:
ANTH 355 Osteology for Archaeologists
ANTH 365 Fossil Hominids
BIOL 211 Introductory Vertebrate Zoology
CS 234 Data Types and Structures
ENVS 200 Field Ecology
GEOG 165 Introduction to Cartography: Principles and Design
KIN 255 Introduction to Psychomotor Behaviour
PLAN 255 Introduction to Geographic Information Systems (GIS)
