The Faculty of Science is committed to providing outstanding teaching and research facilities. The Faculty draws on its involvement in cutting-edge research to ensure teaching excellence at the undergraduate level. Professors who spearhead projects that change people's understanding of the world teach regularly at the undergraduate level. Furthermore, research-based independent study courses offer you the opportunity to contribute to your professors' work, rather than just learn about it.
In an effort to supplement classroom learning with real life experience, the Faculty of Science has increased opportunities for undergraduate students to participate in fieldwork. All B.Sc. programs can include an internship component. This is on top of the many undergraduate students the Faculty hires for Work Study projects and other research programs. As a 51吃瓜网Science student, you have an opportunity to get involved in the structuring of your own education.
The Faculty of Science offers programs leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.). Admission is selective; fulfilment of the minimum requirements does not guarantee acceptance. Admission criteria are described in the Undergraduate Admissions Guide found at mcgill.ca/undergraduate-admissions/apply.
There are also two Diploma programs offered in Science. The Diploma in Environment, in Bieler School of Environment > Undergraduate > Browse Academic Programs > Diploma (Dip.) Environment (30 credits), is a 30-credit program available to holders of a B.Sc. or B.A. or equivalent. The Diploma in Meteorology is a one-year program available to holders of a degree in Mathematics, Engineering, Physics, and other appropriate disciplines who wish to qualify for a professional career in Meteorology; see Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences (ATOC) > Diploma (Dip.) Meteorology (30 credits). All credits for these diplomas must be completed at McGill.
Finally, the Faculties of Arts and Science jointly offer the Bachelor of Arts and Science (B.A. & Sc.) degree, which is described in the Bachelor of Arts & Science section of the eCalendar.
