Consult the Academic Regulations of the University section of this Calendar for information regarding study on exchange or Letter of Permission. B.Sc. Regulations The regulations presented in this section apply to all Bachelor of Science programs. In addition to the requirements presented here, students must satisfy the University regulations common to all undergraduate students including the process of Academic Continuation Evaluation (see the Academic Regulations of the University section of this Calendar). Breadth Requirement for the B.Sc. Students in a Bachelor of Science program must present the following credits at graduation: 2.0 credits in Science Continuation courses not in the major discipline; students completing a double major are considered to have completed this requirement providing they have 2.0 credits in Science Continuation courses in each of the two majors; 2.0 credits in courses outside of the faculties of Science and Engineering and Design (may include ISAP 1000) In most cases, the requirements for individual B.Sc. programs, as stated in this Calendar, contain these requirements, explicitly or implicitly. Students admitted to B.Sc. programs by transfer from another institution must present at graduation (whether taken at Carleton or elsewhere): 2.0 credits in courses outside of the faculties of Science and Engineering and Design (may include ISAP 1000) if the student received fewer than 10.0 transfer credits; or, 1.0 credit in courses outside of the faculties of Science and Engineering and Design (may include ISAP 1000) if the student received 10.0 or more transfer credits. Declared and Undeclared Students Degree students are considered "Undeclared" if they have been admitted to a degree, but have not yet selected and been accepted into a program within that degree. The status "Undeclared" is available only in the B.A. and B.Sc. degrees. Undeclared students must apply to enter a program upon or before completing 3.5 credits. Change of Program within the B.Sc. Degree To transfer to a program within the B.Sc. degree, applicants must normally be Eligible to Continue (EC) in the new program, by meeting the CGPA thresholds described in Section 3.1.9 of the Academic Regulations of the University. Applications to declare or change programs within the B.Sc. degree must be made online through Carleton Central by completing a Change of Program Elements (COPE) application form within the published deadlines. Acceptance into a program, or into a program element or option, is subject to any enrolment limitations, and/or specific program, program element or option requirements as published in the relevant Calendar entry. Minors, Concentrations, and Specializations Students may add a Minor, Concentration, or Specialization by completing a Change of Program Elements (COPE) application form online through Carleton Central. Acceptance into a Minor, Concentration, or Specialization normally requires that the student be Eligible to Continue (EC) and is meeting the minimum CGPAs described in Section 3.1.9 of the Academic Regulations of the University , as well as being subject to any specific requirements of the intended Minor, Concentration, or Specialization as published in the relevant Calendar entry. Experimental Science Requirement Students in a B.Sc. degree program must present at graduation at least two full credits of Experimental Science chosen from two different departments or institutes from the list below: Approved Experimental Science Courses Biochemistry BIOC 2200 [0.5] Cellular Biochemistry BIOC 3103 [0.5] Experimental Biochemistry I: Principles and Practices BIOC 3104 [0.5] Experimental Biochemistry II: Research Experience BIOC 4001 [0.5] Methods in Biochemistry BIOC 4201 [0.5] Advanced Cell Culture and Tissue Engineering Biology BIOL 1103 [0.5] Foundations of Biology I BIOL 1104 [0.5] Foundations of Biology II BIOL 2001 [0.5] Animals: Form and Function BIOL 2002 [0.5] Plants: Form and Function BIOL 2104 [0.5] Introductory Genetics BIOL 2200 [0.5] Cellular Biochemistry BIOL 2600 [0.5] Ecology Chemistry CHEM 1001 [0.5] General Chemistry I CHEM 1002 [0.5] General Chemistry II CHEM 2103 [0.5] Physical Chemistry I CHEM 2203 [0.5] Organic Chemistry I CHEM 2204 [0.5] Organic Chemistry II CHEM 2302 [0.5] Analytical Chemistry I CHEM 2303 [0.5] Analytical Chemistry II CHEM 2800 [0.5] Foundations for Environmental Chemistry Earth Sciences ERTH 1002 [0.5] The Earth and Life Odyssey: A Journey Through Billions of Years ERTH 2102 [0.5] Mineralogy to Petrology ERTH 2404 [0.5] Engineering Geoscience ERTH 2802 [0.5] Field Geology I ERTH 3111 [0.5] Vertebrate Evolution: Mammals, Reptiles, and Birds ERTH 3112 [0.5] Vertebrate Evolution: Fish and Amphibians ERTH 3204 [0.5] Mineral Deposits ERTH 3205 [0.5] Physical Hydrogeology Food Sciences FOOD 3001 [0.5] Food Chemistry FOOD 3002 [0.5] Food Analysis FOOD 3005 [0.5] Food Microbiology Geography GEOG 1010 [0.5] Global Environmental Systems GEOG 3108 [0.5] Soil Properties Neuroscience NEUR 3206 [0.5] Sensory and Motor Neuroscience NEUR 3207 [0.5] Systems Neuroscience NEUR 4600 [0.5] Advanced Lab in Neuroanatomy Physics PHYS 1001 [0.5] Foundations of Physics I PHYS 1002 [0.5] Foundations of Physics II PHYS 1003 [0.5] Introductory Mechanics and Thermodynamics PHYS 1004 [0.5] Introductory Electromagnetism and Wave Motion PHYS 1007 [0.5] Elementary University Physics I PHYS 1008 [0.5] Elementary University Physics II PHYS 2007 [0.5] Second Year Physics Laboratory: Selected Experiments and Seminars PHYS 3007 [0.5] Third Year Physics Laboratory: Selected Experiments and Seminars PHYS 3606 [0.5] Modern Physics II PHYS 3608 [0.5] Modern Applied Physics Course Categories for B.Sc.
