Admission

To be eligible for admission, a student must meet the following requirements:

  • A minimum of four FCE of university-level course work, including one FCE in Mathematics as required for the Natural Sciences program, with a GPA over all courses taken of at least 2.50 and a GPA over all Science courses taken of at least 2.50 (Áù¾ÅÉ«Ìà courses and/or transferable courses taken at other institutions).
  • Declaration of two Science concentrations chosen from Biology, Chemistry or Physics as required in the Natural Sciences program.
  • A Faculty of Education "Statement in Support of Application" which includes names of three referees.

Note: A maximum of 15 students will be accepted in the program in any one year. Admission to the program is competitive and meeting the minimum requirements does not guarantee admission. Students interested in this combined degree program should consult the Natural Sciences Program Office at the earliest possible opportunity.

Continuation
  • Students must have completed the 15.0 FCE required for the initial Science portion of the program (see below under Program Structure) with a minimum GPA of 3.00 over the last 5 FCE taken.
  • Students must notify the Faculty of Education by the deadline date of the year that they intend to begin the Faculty of Education portion of the program. Refer to the Faculty of Education for more information.Ìý
Program Structure

The program is divided into a Science portion, which consists of 15.0 FCE and is completed in the first three years of the program, and an Education portion, which consists of 10.0 FCE and is completed in the last two years of the program. In the Education portion of the program in Year 5, a project course is required amalgamating Science and Education. This course replaces the 500-level Science project course (Science 501) and an option required in the regular Natural Sciences program.

Science Portion (15.0 FCE)

In the Science portion, the following concentrations are possible: Biology, Chemistry and Physics.

The requirements are the same as for the Natural Sciences Major program as specified under Item 6 above except that the 1.0 FCE capstone courses and the 4.0 FCE breadth requirement are replaced by:

0.5 FCE - Junior English

0.5 FCE - Languages, Literature, Philosophy or Religious Studies option

1.0 FCE - Social studies options (see Faculty of Education, section 3.5.2 for relevantÌýcourse areas.)

0.5 FCE - Science 403

2.5 FCE - Options

Education Portion (10.0 FCE)

Note: The Inquiry Project in the final term of the program will also serve as a Capstone course (i.e., replacing Science 501) in the Natural Sciences portion of the combined degree program.

1Students should refer to the Course Registration and Planning Guide to determine recommended first-year Mathematics courses based on their concentration.

2Computer Science 101 is a non-credit course taught during Block week prior to fall semester . It is strongly recommended as preparation for Computer Science 217 or 231. First-year students unable to complete Computer Science 101 should contact the Computer Science Department for supplemental information.

Note: This schedule is adjustable to accommodate individual programs. Options include any courses that are prerequisite to the concentration courses, but are from another field, and also include the Science Breadth requirements.
