The Science and Business website is a strong tool available to both current and future students of the Science and Business program to access program-related information, resources, news, and opportunities to get involved.
Over the past year, many changes, additions, and updates have been made to the website that we would like to draw your attention to, including existing and recently added resources available to you.
As many of you may know, the Science and Business program used to offer 7 specializations (Biology, Biochemistry, Biotechnology, Chemistry, Earth Sciences, Environmental Sciences, and Physics) in addition to no specialization, but was recently reduced to 3 specializations (Biology, Biochemistry, and Biotechnology) and no specialization.
Although some specializations are no longer available to new students, you still have the option of pursuing interests in the discontinued specializations through minors and options. Minors and options available to pursue as part of the Science and Business program are listed here.
A summary of the core courses required for the successful completion of each specialization currently offered in the Science and Business program is available here.
Program outlines created in alignment with the Undergraduate Studies calendar for each year since 2013 are available for your reference here.
