Choosing your Stage I BSc elective courses
In your Stage I Science elective course spaces, you should choose courses from the Other Science Courses list under the ‘Schedule/Programme Rules’ tab on the BSc Curriculum Catalogue page.
Stage I courses have course numbers in the 100s, for example, ANTHRO 108 or COMPSCI 101.
Choosing a General Education (GenEd) course for the BSc
Within your BSc (with a health major) degree, you can choose up to two General Education (GenEd) courses.
Your GenEds are an opportunity to explore subjects beyond your degree; you're strongly encouraged to consider options that align with your interests and strengths.
General Education restrictions
You cannot take a General Education course in the same subject code as any non-General Education course that you take in your degree.
Some GenEd restrictions specific to the BSc are listed below.
- BIOSCI 100G cannot be taken by students taking BIOSCI 107.
- EXERSCI 100G, MEDSCI 100G and 101G cannot be taken by students taking MEDSCI 142.
- PHARMACY 111G cannot be taken by students intending to apply for a Bachelor of Pharmacy after the first year of study.
For a full list of what you can choose from, check the ‘General Education Courses’ list under the ‘Schedule/Programme Rules’ tab on the BSc Curriculum Catalogue page.
