Science

Science entry options and the Science One alternative. Listed individual subject courses may satisfy first-year requirements through Science One; this is not a fixed curriculum for every BSc specialization. The Science One Program (SCIE_V 001; 28 credits) is a unique program that emphasizes the interdisciplinary nature of science in a small-class environment with a standard timetable. A separate application is required. Science One, a unique alternative to the standard first year in the Faculty of Science, is a 28-credit program of study spanning two terms. The aim of the curriculum is to provide a broad interdisciplinary science education for a student's first-year science studies within a small academic community of learners. Science One has dedicated classroom and study space, along with excellent student support. This interdisciplinary option integrates the essential material of first-year biology, chemistry, mathematics, and physics through lectures, tutorials, workshops, and laboratories. Successful completion of Science One with the necessary academic standing satisfies the entrance requirements for all second-year courses in biology, chemistry, mathematics and physics. Successful completion of Science One allows students to apply to any B.Sc. specialization. Students with credit for SCIE_V 001 will be deemed to have satisfied all BIOL_V 112, BIOL_V 121, BIOL_V 180, CHEM_V 121, CHEM_V 123, MATH_V 100, MATH_V 101, PHYS_V 117, PHYS_V 118, PHYS_V 119, and PHYS_V 129 requirements. Students enrolled in Science One may register for additional credits of electives in consultation with Science One advisors. On successful completion of the Science One Option, students receive one composite mark for the Science One course and individual marks for electives. at least 75% in English 12 or English Literature 12 (or equivalent). Students who have not achieved this minimum English requirement may still apply for the program. They may be asked, however, to provide writing samples that will be evaluated by Science One professors. Summary of Program Requirements. Allocated Total Credits: 132 credits. Summary of Program Requirements. Minimum Total Science Credits: 72 credits. Summary of Program Requirements. Minimum Total Arts Credits: 12 credits. Summary of Program Requirements. Maximum Credits that can be double counted: 6 credits. Summary of Program Requirements. Maximum credits not in Science or Arts: 24 credits. Students are required to fulfill the faculty-wide requirements for one of the degree options (e.g., major, honours) defined in this chapter of the Calendar as well as the specific course requirements for a defined specialization (e.g., Major in Computer Science), including all course and credit requirements. At least 50% of the credits required must be obtained with courses taken while registered in the UBC Vancouver B.Sc. program. A major, combined major, double major, or General Science option requires a minimum of 120 credits but may require more. A dual degree will require more than 120 credits but some combinations may be completed in less than the minimum of 180 credits required to complete both a first and second degree sequentially. An honours or combined honours option requires a student complete a range of 120 to 132 credits as specified by the Department’s specialization description in the Calendar. The B.Sc. degree must be obtained within a maximum of 180 attempted credits including credits transferred to the degree. Of the credits used toward the B.Sc. requirements, at most 24 may be in faculties other than Science or Arts (see Credit at UBC and Elsewhere ) and at most six may be numbered 500 or above (see Upper-level Requirement ).
