A Bachelor of Knowledge Integration (BKI) degree can be combined with any other University of Waterloo degree plan which academic units in Environment and other faculties have chosen to make available for Joint Honours. Knowledge Integration may be the primary credential (i.e., Bachelor of Knowledge Integration with "Z" academic plan) or the secondary credential (i.e., Bachelor of academic plan "X" with Knowledge Integration). To earn a Joint Honours degree with Knowledge Integration, students must meet the requirements of both plans as stated in the Calendar.
Normally, a student would be eligible for admission to a Joint Honours degree plan with Knowledge Integration only with:
- a minimum cumulative average of 65%;
- completion of at least two of INTEG 120, 121, 220, and 221; and,
- a Knowledge Integration major cumulative average that would meet the degree requirement, a minimum of 75%. That average includes all INTEG-labelled courses and all the courses already completed that would become, on admission to a plan in Knowledge Integration, core courses (such as, to satisfy the Investigative Science theme requirements).
