Double Major, Combined Major, and Minor Programs

See the Faculty of Science section of the current UBC Calendar for more information on these programs. Contact the Science Advising Office and relevant advisors in each department for admission to any of these programs.


Double Major Program

A Double Major B.Sc. can be earned by completing all of the Major requirements for each of two different B.Sc. programs, or for a B.Sc. program and a B.A. program.
  • For EOS, the relevant Major requirements would be 30 upper-level EOSC credits, plus any lower-level prerequisites.
  • Courses taken to meet Faculty of Science requirements (such as first-year English and the 12 credits elective Arts) would apply to both halves of a double program.
  • In most cases, the breadth requirement would be met by a second Major, but if EOS were doubled with Atmospheric Sciences, then the 9-credit breadth requirement would also have to be met.
  • Please also consult the UBC Calender Graduation Requirements

Combined Major Program

A Combined Major B.Sc. program in Computer Science and Another Science program is possible; see a Faculty of Science Advisor for details.

Minor Programs

A Minor in Science, Arts, Commerce, Human Kinetics, or in Land and Food Systems can be earned in conjunction with any Science Honours or Major program.

However there are some restrictions: see the UBC Calendar under Faculty of Science Co-op and Minor Options for details.
