3 units (0.5 full-course equivalent) - Science options
18 units (3.0 full-course equivalents) - Breadth Requirement: Options from faculties other than the Faculty of Science (check Table I in 3.4 Program Requirements for ineligible courses). Of these 18 units (3.0 full-course equivalents), at least 6 units (1.0 full-course equivalent) must be from the Faculty of Arts. Science 311 may be counted among the 18 units (3.0 full-course equivalents) from other faculties.
15 units (2.5 full-course equivalents) - Options
1The recommended sequence for Mathematics courses in Physics and Astronomy is Mathematics 275 and 277. Students who complete Mathematics 267 will have to take a Block Week class for it to be equivalent to Mathematics 277.
Notes:
- Students can a) have obtained an "A-" or better in Physics 211/221 or b) have completed both Physics 211/221 and 321 in order to satisfy their program requirement of Physics 227. Students who have completed either of these options must visit the Undergraduate Science Centre (EEEL 445) to have this substitution applied to their student record.
- Suggested Physics or Science options are Physics 457, 501, 509, 543, Computer Science 491.
- It is strongly recommended that students take 6 units (1.0 full-course equivalent) English to complete the 6 units (1.0 full-course equivalent) Faculty of Arts requirement.
- The Mathematics 275, 277, 375, 377 recommended sequence can be replaced with a sequence of Mathematics 249 or 265, Mathematics 267, Mathematics 177, Mathematics 376, and Mathematics 367.
- Astrophysics 503 and 509 are taught in alternate years.
