Streams and Majors (pre 2008)
Course work programs: There are six approved course work programs in the Bachelor of Science listed below. Candidates who complete one of these course work programs will have the name of the program entered on their transcript of academic record and testamur.

Majors: Students may choose to complete a major in the Bachelor of Science as an alternative to completing a course work program. In order to complete a major, students must complete at least 24 cp at 300-level in a subject, for example, GEOL or CHEM or BOTY or ZOOL, etc.
Students may have up to two majors recorded on their transcript. Students cannot complete both an approved course work program and a major.
