Minors in Faculty of Science are:

  • minor in Biology
  • minor in Chemistry
  • minor in Earth Sciences
  • minor in Food Sciences
  • minor in Geomatics
  • minor in Health Sciences
  • minor in Mathematics
  • minor in Neuroscience and Mental Health
  • minor in Physical Geography
  • minor in Physics– for ISAP students interested in the Minor in Physics, please see above regarding first year PHYS and MATH course requirements.
  • minor in Statistics

Upper Year Courses

After first year, you will probe the sciences in more depth, with upper year courses required to complete your chosen minor in science.  Each term courses in Interdisciplinary Science (ISAP) are required to be completed along with the courses in science.
