Students may pursue a combined program of at least 150 units (25.0 full-course equivalents) that leads to two degrees, one from the Faculty of Science and one from another faculty. The two degrees will be awarded simultaneously.
Students must meet the admission and graduation requirements of both Faculties involved, as described in the Faculties' sections of this Calendar.
These programs require careful selection of courses to complete the requirements of both faculties. Interested students are urged to contact the Advising Offices of both faculties for advice in choosing their courses, beginning in first year, and should see the Associate or Assistant Deans of the two Faculties involved.
With the Faculty of Arts
BSc or BA (Science) and BSc or BA (Arts) Program
Students intending to pursue this program may enter either the Faculty of Science or the Faculty of Arts. At the time of admission to either faculty, students must apply for the combined degree program and declare two major fields as described in each faculty's section of this Calendar.
Degree Requirements for the BSc or BA (Science) and BSc or BA (Arts) Program
(i) The Faculties of Science and Arts require the successful completion of at least 42 and not more than 66 units (7.0 and not more than 11.0 full-course equivalents) in the Major Field. Faculty and departmental requirements for graduation in a program with a Major Field must be met.
(ii) Courses taken to satisfy the major field requirements for one of the two degrees may be counted towards the breadth requirement for the other degree.
(iii) The number of junior courses taken must not exceed 54 units (9.0 full-course equivalents) in total.
(iv) A maximum of 60 units (10.0 full-course equivalents) taken at other institutions and acceptable for transfer credit may be included in the combined programs. A maximum of 24 units (4.0 full-course equivalents) taken at other institutions and acceptable for transfer credit may be included in the major field of each program.

For program details, see the Department of Mathematics and Statistics section in Section 4 (Program Details).
BSc (Natural Sciences) and BEd
For program details, see the Natural Sciences section in Section 4 (Program Details).
With the Schulich School of Engineering
BSc (Engineering) and BSc (Science) Program
Students intending to pursue this program may enter either the Faculty of Science or the Schulich School of Engineering. Students may either be admitted to both degree programs when they first apply to the University or may seek admission to a second degree program after being admitted. Students must satisfy the requirements for admission to both Faculties and Programs. (See the Admissions section of this Calendar.)
This combined program leads to a Bachelor of Science in Engineering from the Schulich School of Engineering and a Bachelor of Science from the Faculty of Science. The Schulich School of Engineering provides complementary information on Combined Programs in their section of this Calendar.
Note: Because engineering degrees are highly structured, more than 150 units (25.0 full-course equivalents) are typically required. Further, students who opt out of this Combined Degree program, particularly if they do so after first year, often require more than four years to complete a single degree.
