BSc Honours in Physics
The BSc Honours program offers more specialization than the B.Sc. Major program and provides solid preparation for students who intend to proceed to graduate school in physics. Students must maintain an average of at least 70% in all courses and a minimum average of 75% in all physics and required cognate courses. To graduate with High Honors, students must achieve a minimum average of 85% in these courses. Students can choose to take this degree with an optional Co-operative Education component. For more information, they should contact the Physics Co-op Coordinator.
