UofC " This Is Now

The program, sponsored jointly by the Faculties of Science and Social Sciences, leads to the BSc and the BA degrees, two BSc degrees or two BA degrees and requires the completion of a minimum of 25 full-course equivalents.

Students pursuing this program may enter the combined degree program in Year One in either the Faculty of Science or the Faculty of Social Sciences, providing all admission requirements as described in each Faculty's section of the Calendar have been satisfied. At that time, students will declare two Major Fields as described in each Faculty's section of the Calendar.

Faculty and Departmental requirements for graduation in a program with a Major Field must be met for both the Faculty of Science and the Faculty of Social Sciences (see the relevant portions of each Faculty's requirements elsewhere in this calendar) with the following exceptions:

(a) The number of junior courses taken must not exceed nine full-course equivalents in total.

(b) A maximum of 10 full-course equivalents may be taken at institutions other than the University of Calgary. A maximum of four full course equivalents of transfer credit may be counted toward a major field.

(c) Courses taken toward each of the Major Fields will be used to satisfy part of the requirement of the other faculty for courses outside of the Faculty. See the Graduation section of each Faculty for details.

The program requires careful selection of courses to complete all requirements of the two Faculties. Interested students should contact the Undergraduate Programs Office for advice in choosing their first-year courses.

It will be possible for students to opt out of the combined program until the end of their third year and complete either the Social Sciences or Science degree program in four years.

Note: If courses have been unevenly distributed, more than four years may be required to complete the degree.
