¹Recommended options

15 units - Breadth Requirement: Options from faculties other than the Faculty of Science, excluding courses in Table I. These 15 units and Science 311 form the 18 units non-science course requirements selected from faculties other than the Faculty of Science. Of these 15 units, students must take at least 6 units from the Faculty of Arts.

9 units - Options

Note: In order to meet the academic requirements for registration with APEGA, 6 units from the Science Options and/or the Options must be chosen from one or more of biology, chemistry (3 units maximum), computer science, physics (3 units maximum), or statistics.

There is a Recommended Course Sequence for this program. This sequence describes both the recommended order in which courses should be taken and the recommended course(s) in instances where multiple courses may fulfill a degree requirement. All possible courses that may fulfill degree requirements are found in the Required Courses listed above.

Taking courses in the order of the Recommended Course Sequence will ensure students can complete their program in a timely fashion. The time to complete a program may be lengthened if students choose to complete their requirements in an alternate order.
