The Bachelor of Science is offered by Athabasca University's Centre
for Science. This degree provides students with a general science
education. Given the ever-increasing importance of science and technology,
this degree will prepare students to cope with the science-based
world of today and the increasing technological demands of the future.
It will also prepare students for the challenges science presents
to the modern world by including courses in scientific reasoning;
the history of science; and ethics, science, technology, and the
environment.
Students have the opportunity to complete courses that are transferable
to pre-medicine, pre-dentistry, and pre-veterinary programs offered
at other universities in Alberta and across Canada. Students should consult with the program advisors at the professional
schools to ensure they are undertaking appropriate course patterns.
Students are strongly encouraged to register in ENGL 255 early in their program. The Alberta Universities Writing Competence Test may be used to indicate competence in English writing skills. Refer to the English Writing Skills Requirement below.
