Courses

As an Honours Science student, you can choose between BIOL, CHEM, EARTH, MNS, PHYS, and SCI to count towards your Science elective credits. 

When choosing courses, it is important to consider what your goals are. Are you working towards meeting the requirements for a professional school? Are you looking to take specific upper year courses which have prerequisites? Are you looking to take courses for interest? 

Once you determine your goals, you can decide which courses are more appropriate for any given term. 

We encourage you to take a look at our visual course maps* which are available for five Science subjects of study. They may give you an idea of what courses may be appropriate to take and align with your goals.

* Accessible versions of course maps available here (Word document will download first):
