Overview

A Science major requires 42 units of courses with a common theme comprising:

  • a maximum of 12 units of 1000-series courses;
  • a minimum of 30 units of 2000-, 3000- or 4000- series courses, including 18 units of Group C courses.

No major requires more than 18 units of Group C courses, but some majors allow more than 18 units of Group C courses to be included in the 42 units.


Some majors with a common theme are available as double majors. A double major consists of a minimum of 60 units of courses with a common theme comprising:

  • a maximum of 12 units of 1000- series courses;
  • a minimum of 48 units of 2000-, 3000- or 4000- series courses, including 36 units of Group C courses.


No specific 3000- or 4000- series course may be counted as meeting the requirements of more than one major.
The number and sequence of courses prescribed for a major are listed below each major entry.
