This program is aimed at students interested in potentially pursuing graduate studies and is most clearly characterized by the honours project completed before graduation. Depending on eligibility requirements and future plans, students may take a workshop, essay or lab-based research thesis for their honours project. In the research thesis, students work in the labs of our faculty and colleagues on an advanced research project.
Below is a SAMPLE based on program requirements outlined in the 2019-2020 Undergraduate Calendar. It is NOT a guide on how to choose your courses, it is simply one example of how course distribution could look for students who were admitted in fall 2019. You need to follow your audit to determine program requirements. Contact the Undergraduate Administrator if you are unclear on how to interpret your audit.
For more information about course layouts, please refer to the Advising 101 sessions available from this website. You can contact the Undergraduate Administrator for further clarification and more specific advising.
