Bachelor of Advanced Science

Faculty:
Faculty of Science
Award:
Bachelor of Advanced Science (BAdvSc)
General requirements:
Minimum number of credit points for the degree 72
Minimum number of credit points at 200 level or above 42
Minimum number of credit points at 300 level or above 18
Minimum number of credit points designated as Science 42
Completion of a Qualifying Major for the Bachelor of Advanced Science
Completion of a designated People unit
Completion of a designated Planet unit
Completion of other specific minimum requirements as set out below
Note:
Students must complete one designated People unit and one designated Planet unit. One of those units must be taken outside the Department administering the program of study or qualifying major which the student is admitted to, and the other unit must be taken outside the Faculty administering the program of study or qualifying major which the student is admitted to. Units which are already a required unit of the student's program of study or qualifying major will not satisfy the People unit requirement or Planet unit requirement.

In order to graduate students must ensure that they have satisfied all of the general requirements of the award: see the general requirements listed above.
