IESP Science students enroll in:
- BIOL1103: Foundations of Biology
- BIOL1104: Foundations of Biology II
- One of ISAP 1001 or ENSC 1500 (dependent upon stream)
- MATH 1007: Elementary Calculus I
- Two non-credit workshops designed to build the skills needed to succeed in university studies
Prerequisite subjects: 4U advanced functions (min 60%), two 4U-level science courses (min 60%)
Admission to Science after IESP
- To earn admission to a B.Sc General: Students must successfully complete the IESP Science stream with an overall minimum CGPA of 6.0 (C+ 67%-69%) for admission to a science degree (3-year program).
- Students must have a core CGPA of 6.0 (C+ 67%-69%). The core average is calculated across all science and math courses taken in IESP
- To earn admission to a B.Sc Honours: students applying to an Honours (4 years) program must successfully complete the IESP Science stream with an overall minimum CGPA of 7.0 (B- 70-72%) and also require one of 4U Biology, Earth and Space Science, or Physics (minimum of 60%).
- Students must also have a core CGPA of 7.0 (B- 70-72%). The core average is calculated across all science and math courses taken in IESP, as well as the additional grade 12 advanced science course (4U Biology, Earth and Space Science, or Physics).
