Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Inegrated Science with Science Education Concentration
ObjectivesThe Science Education stream is intended for those planning a teaching career at either the primary or secondary school level. You will combine the appropriate courses for two teachable subjects. Students may select two teachable subjects from the Faculty of Science or may select their primary teachable from the Faculty of Science and their secondary teachable from a non-science field. The program requirements still include 2.0 credits of specific 1000 level science courses, however. The various teachers' colleges in Ontario have slightly different requirements. Students should verify the requirements of the teachers' college programs during the course of their degree to ensure that they will meet all requirements upon graduation.

Detailed programs in IS are constructed and approved on an individual basis. All IS Honours programs adhere to the following structure.
1. Science Sequence (9.0 credits included in the Major CGPA):
1. 1.0 credit in INSC 4908 [1.0] or INSC 4907 [1.0];
2. 3.0 credits from the Faculty of Science at the 3000-level or above;
3. 4.0 credits from the Faculty of Science at the 2000-level or above;
4. 1.0 credits from the Faculty of Science at the 2000-level or above (may include up to 1.0 credit 1000-level COMP)
2. Non-Science Sequence (4.0 credits included in the Major CGPA):
5. 4.0 credits in an area selected from outside the Faculty of Science;
3. Additional Requirements (7.0 credits)
6. 1.0 credit in MATH 1007 and MATH 1107;
7. 2.0 credits from BIOL 1003, BIOL 1004, CHEM 1000 [1.0], ERTH 1006, ERTH 1007, PHYS 1007, PHYS 1008;
8. 2.0 credits from Science, Mathematics, Arts and Social Sciences, Public Affairs, Computer Science or Engineering;
9. 2.0 credits in free electives.
Note: at least 2.0 credits in Items 1 to 9 above must be chosen from the Faculties of Arts and Social Sciences or Public Affairs.
Technology, Society, Environment Studies (TSES) courses are considered Non-Science credits.
English as a Second Language (ESLA) courses are accepted in Items 8 and 9 only.
The following engineering courses may be used to fulfil the Faculty of Science course requirements if they were taken while the student was registered in the Bachelor of Engineering program: CIVE 2101, ENVE 2002, ENVE 3004, ENVE 4003, ELEC 2501, ELEC 2507, ELEC 3909, ECOR 1606, MAAE 2101, MAAE 2300, MAAE 2400, SYSC1100, SYSC 1101, SYSC 1102, SYSC 2001, SYSC 2002, SYSC 2003, SYSC 2004, SYSC 2100, SYSC 3001, SYSC 3006, SYSC 3100, SYSC 3200.
Science Education
Preparation for further studies in teaching at the primary or secondary school levels, combines a science sequence in any one of the science areas of concentration with an appropriate non-science sequence.
Required Courses (10.0 credits):
1. 5.0 credits in the chosen (for teaching) area of science at 2000-level or above;
2. 3.0 credits in the chosen (for teaching) non-science or second science;
3. 2.0 credits in PSYC 1001, PSYC 1002, PSYC 2500, PSYC 2700.
