Regulations for General BSc Programs

In addition to the Regulations for General Programs and the applicable Common and Special Requirements for the major, all General BSc students must choose courses so as to satisfy the following conditions:

The program must contain at least three of BI100*, CH100*, GL100*, and PC100* (or PC110*).
Kinesiology and Physical Education (BSc) majors may substitute CP104 and one of CP102 or CP114, for GL100*.
The program must contain MA101 and MA102 (or another credit in Mathematics or Computing as described in the Special Requirements for the student's major).
The program may not contain more than eight junior credits.
The program must contain at least two senior credits in Biology, Chemistry, Computing, Mathematics, Physics or in the courses identified as Physical Geography in the course description section of the Calendar. Course credits fulfilling this requirement must not be in the student's (first) major subject, but may be counted toward a second major or a minor.
The program must contain at least 11 credits from the following list: all courses in Biology (except BI101*), Chemistry (except CH101*, CH201*), Computing (except CP102), Geology, Mathematics (except MA130) and Physics, as well as courses designated as Physical Geography in the course descriptions. For Physical Geography majors, the list will also include GG395 and GG396. For Kinesiology and Physical Education (BSc) majors, the list may also include Division C Kinesiology and Physical Education courses, as well as CP102. (See Regulation 1 above) Other courses which cannot be counted towards fulfilling the requirement, or towards the BSc program itself, are: AS105*, SC101, SC102, SC103, or SC104.
