B.A. & Sc. Foundation Program

Students who need to complete 97–120 credits to fulfil their degree requirements are admitted to the Foundation Program. Students with specific career goals should consult an academic advisor about their choice of program within the B.A. & Sc. Students intending to pursue further studies following the B.A. & Sc. should refer to the admission requirements of particular programs for the appropriate prerequisite courses.

In particular, students should note the following:

• All students, except those admitted with a Québec CEGEP DEC in Science or Integrated Arts and Science, must fulfill the Freshman/Foundation Program requirements, regardless of the number of credits they were admitted with. Even if a student is admitted as a U1, they must complete all required Foundation courses that they did not receive Advanced Standing credits/exemptions for;
  • The minimum Foundation Program science requirements in the B.A. & Sc. may not satisfy the introductory science requirements of all medical/dental schools;
  • The Major Concentration in Psychology may not provide a sufficiently focused background for admission to many graduate programs in psychology;
  • The Major Concentration in Chemistry is not certified by the Ordre des Chimistes du Québec. Students interested in pursuing a career in chemistry in Quebec are advised to take an appropriate B.Sc. program in Chemistry.
