Undergraduate programs
Explore our diverse selection of programs that can earn you a Bachelor's degree.
-
Actuarial Mathematics (BSc)
Actuarial Mathematics is a broadly-based commerce discipline that involves the study of mathematics, statistics, accounting, economics, and finance and their application to long-term financial management.
-
Applied Mathematics (BSc)
Discover the skills needed to become a mathematician by seeking out patterns and formulating new conjectures that provide the language, reasoning and analytic tools many disciplines use to investigate their areas.
-
Biochemistry (BSc)
Biochemistry is the discipline that attempts to understand ourselves and our interactions with nature from the direction of the physical sciences. It is the study of the chemistry of life.
-
Biological Sciences (BSc)
Biological Sciences explores everything from the molecular processes and interactions inside cells to large-scale ecological interactions between organisms in their environment and how the changing environment shapes these interactions.
-
Chemistry (BSc)
Chemistry is a way of thinking about the world in terms of the atoms and molecules underlying it, how they interact, combine and change. Chemists use their knowledge of the processes of matter to either create new substances or examine existing ones.
-
Computer Science (BCSc) (BSc)
Computer Science is a mathematically rich, theory-based program that offers students the knowledge and skills they need to succeed in any industry and advance further in their academic careers.
-
Data Science (BSc)
Data Science is about learning how to explore data, analyze data and draw out meaningful and insightful findings from data. A degree in data science can result in a very versatile career.
-
General (BSc)
A General degree in Science exposes you to the all the major areas of scientific studies at an introductory level. This program provides students with diversified training to ensure they have the breadth and depth of scientific understanding.
-
Genetics (BSc)
Genetics explores advancements in medicine, agricultural techniques, heritable IQ, genetically modified organisms, genetic counselling and gene therapy. Work with faculty members who have externally-funded research programs, including many in Science with national research chairs.
-
Mathematics (BSc)
Mathematics uses analytical tools to provide clean reasoning that drives progress throughout science and engineering. Learn how to identify patterns, formulate conjectures, establish theories, and model and analyze real-world phenomena.
-
Microbiology (BSc)
Microbiology helps students gain an appreciation for the microbes that provide novel solutions to today’s global challenges. As an undergrad, you will gain lab experience and have opportunities to conduct hands-on research with a faculty member as early as year two.
-
Physics and Astronomy (BSc)
Astronomy and astrophysics examine the qualities of the universe, galaxies and stars. Physics explores the entire universe, from the structure of the cosmos, to the structure of sub-atomic particles and all the forces that hold them together and apart.
-
Psychology (BSc)
Psychology explores the advances in biological bases of behaviour and cognitive processes, and behavioural and cognitive neuroscience. Our faculty have expertise across the full range of psychological science. We are notable for the breadth of training opportunities we provide.
-
Statistics (BSc)
The Statistics program will teach you the methods of collecting and analyzing data, drawing conclusions from data and communicating your findings others. A statistics degree can be used in any industry that relies on data.
