BSc (Integrated)
The Bachelor of Science (Integrated) provides a broad science base and integrates more than one area of study. The program is built upon a foundation of Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics and Physics. The program allows students to transfer into single-discipline science majors built on a foundation of Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics and Physics, or alternatively to switch from them to the BSc (Integrated). This program may be useful to students planning to pursue studies in various post-baccalaureate professional areas. Students should consult with the appropriate professional school(s) to ensure inclusion of all the required courses to be eligible for entry into programs in the desired professional area. Prior to starting the first year of study, students are strongly encouraged to consult with an appropriate Program Advisor for their anticipated area of concentration.
Areas of upper division concentration are:
- Biology, Ecology and Biochemistry & Molecular Biology
- Chemistry, Biochemistry and Molecular Biology
- Computer Science
- Environmental and Earth Sciences
- Geography (Science) and GIS
- Mathematics and Statistics
- Natural Resources and Forestry
- Physics
Students
enrolled in the Integrated major of the Bachelor of Science must
successfully complete a total of 120 credit hours including a minimum of 45
credit hours from upper division (300 or 400 level) courses, and not less than
15 credit hours, at any level, of Humanities and Social Science courses. Humanities and Social Science courses may be selected from among the areas that
are considered Humanities and Social Science for purposes of the BA (General). Students must complete two areas of upper division concentration listed above. Students must ensure completion of course prerequisites before registering in
any course.
