Science-Business Stream
Students pursuing a BSc (3-year, 4-year or Honours) in any department or program have the opportunity to supplement their main course of study in science with a “Business Stream” – a set of core courses in the Department of Business and Administration that will provide them with the skills needed to enter and succeed in industry and business.
The Science-Business Stream addresses the growing demand for University graduates in science to have the basic skill sets needed to function in a business environment. In particular, there is an expanding private sector in the life sciences, which includes everything from pharmaceutical companies making designer drugs to environmental consultants specializing in remediation. Also, science students who expect to proceed to a professional school (Medicine, Dentistry, Pharmacy, etc.) can benefit from this degree stream since many will be involved in running their own small business when they practice their profession.
This stream can supplement almost any Bachelor of Science degree (3-year, 4-year, or Honours). After completing the requirements of the BSc degree and a set of core courses, it will be noted on the student’s transcript that they have satisfied the requirements of a BSc degree with a Business stream.
Participating programs: Applied Computer Science, Bioanthropology, Biochemistry, Biology, Chemistry, Environmental Studies, Geography, Kinesiology, Mathematics, Neuroscience, Physics, and Statistics
