Additional Program Conditions:

1. Students who select BIOL, EARTH, or PHYS with two associated labs to meet their Year One Science requirements will need one less 0.5 unit Science elective in order to fulfil the 8.0 unit Science elective requirement.
2. Students who select BIOL with one or less associated labs to meet their Year One Science requirements must take an additional 0.5 unit of Science to fulfil the 8.0 unit Science elective requirement.
3. BIOL 101 does not count towards this program.
4. A maximum of 2.0 failed units is permitted.
5. Normally, a maximum of 3.0 SCBUS units is permitted.
6. Co-op program requirements are located in the Co-operative Education and Career Action (CECA) section of this Calendar and in the Science Faculty work-term report guidelines.

Notes

1. Alternate program electives may be substituted with permission form the program advisor.
2. Science elective courses include BIOL, CHEM, EARTH, and PHYS.
3. PHYS 121 and PHYS 121L can substitute PHYS 111 and PHYS 111L.
4. PHYS 122 and PHYS 122L can substitute PHYS 112 and PHYS 112L.
5. BIOL labs are recommended but not required unless needed to satisfy upper-year courses as prerequisites.
6. HRM 200 and MSCI 311 are recommended program electives.
7. Students can choose to emphasize one of the following Business areas by selecting or substituting appropriate program electives into their program. Students should note that this may require an additional term(s) of study:
