Foundation Program
The Foundation Program is designed to provide a basic science foundation to students entering university for the first time from a high school system (outside of the Quebec CEGEP system). The Foundation Program consists of at least 30 credits in fundamental mathematics and science courses in preparation for one of the following degree programs:
- B.Sc. (Agricultural and Environmental Sciences)
- B.Eng. (Bioresource)
- B.Sc. (Nutritional Sciences)
- B.Sc. (Food Science)
- Concurrent B.Sc. (Food Science) and B.Sc. (Nutritional Sciences)
Students who have completed the Diploma of Collegial Studies, Advanced Placement Exams, Advanced Levels, the International Baccalaureate, the French Baccalaureate, and/or McGill placement examinations may receive exemption and/or credit for all or part of the Foundation Program courses (basic science courses in biology, chemistry, physics, and mathematics). Students who have completed courses at other universities or colleges may also receive exemptions and/or credits. Students should consult with the Faculty's Student Affairs Office.
