University of Calgary Calendar 2011-2012 Faculty of Science 5. Program Details 5.1 Biological Sciences 5.1.11 Combined Degree with Computer Science
5.1.11 Combined Degree with Computer Science

The five-year program, sponsored jointly by the Department of Biological Sciences and the Department of Computer Science, leads to both the Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences and the Bachelor of Science in Computer Science degrees. The program requires careful selection of courses in order to complete the requirements of both the Departments. A total of 25 full-course equivalents are required, which includes the core courses of both programs, options within each field and the breadth requirement. Students interested in pursuing the combined degree in Biological Sciences and Computer Science should contact the undergraduate advisors of both departments to discuss the program. To be able to finish in 5 years, the course sequence needs to be chosen carefully.

Students wishing to embark on the sequence of courses leading to this combined degree may enter the combined program in year one. Otherwise, they may enter the Biological Sciences or Computer Science major program and apply to the combined degree program in subsequent years.

Once admitted to the combined program, a student may elect to remain in it, or switch to either of the two separate degree programs, as long as the requirements of each program continue to be met. Failure to meet requirements will result in a student being required to withdraw from the combined or separate programs, as the case may be.
