• Students majoring in Food Science & Technology, Nutrition Science, Mathematics, or Statistics must follow Combination 1. 
• Students wanting to complete a double major in Food Science & Technology and Nutrition Science are advised to transfer to BP199 Bachelor of Food Technology & Nutrition. 
• Students majoring in Geospatial Science must follow Combination 2 or 3. 
• Students majoring in Physics must combine it with Mathematics as a second major (Combination 1) or as a generalist minor (Combination 2). 

Definitions: 

Science Option Courses include: 

1. In addition to below table, Science Option courses include any course listed in a Generalist Minor, 
2. MATH2196 and MATH2197 are available as Science Options only to students doing a double major involving Mathematics or Statistics (but not both). MATH2196 is a pre-requisite for MATH2197.  

University Electives include any course on the University Electives website  

Minors fall under two categories: 

1. Generalist Minors – 4 courses from a discipline different to your major. 
2. Advanced Minors – 4 courses from a discipline related to your major that extend your major studies.
