Who should consider the B.A. & Sc. degree?
The B.A. & Sc. degree, jointly offered through the Faculty of Arts and the Faculty of Science, is intended for students who have deep and clearly-defined interest in both Arts and Science. The B.A. & Sc. is a 120 credit degree program that includes a 30-credit freshman program covering foundational math, science, and arts courses, followed by a 90-credit main program that includes both Arts and Science. Students entering from CEGEP enter directly into the 90-credit main program. There are several options for the main program, all of which specify 75-80 of the 90 credits, leaving only 10-15 credits for electives. Since there are relatively few electives, students entering a program in the B.A. & Sc. degree should have a clear idea of their objectives, goals, and intended program of study, so that they can plan their curriculum carefully. The B.A. & Sc. degree is intended for students who want to devote about half their undergraduate program to Arts and about half to Science.
