BACHELOR of SCIENCE
DEGREE
The Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) at MacEwan University emphasizes both breadth and depth of study and has been designed for flexibility and customization. You can declare a primary major and a minor, or a primary major and a secondary major, or a primary major and two minors.
Breadth requirements
Breadth requirements for your degree are designed to broaden your horizons and extend your knowledge. Courses in literacy, humanities, sciences, social sciences, analytical studies and fine arts give you a grounding in different fields of study to help you determine your interests and strengths. This can be helpful when you decide on your major(s) and minor(s). Most students complete breadth requirements in the first two years of university.
Primary major
Your major allows you to study a subject in great depth. It can lead you towards your career or graduate studies in a specific area. We encourage you to explore several subject areas before you decide on your major.
Secondary major or minor
You explore a second subject in greater depth as a requirement of your degree. You have the option to complete a secondary major, a minor or two minors.
Options
Options allow you to customize your degree even further as you explore subjects that reflect your interests and career plans. Plan ahead so you have prerequisites for courses you want to take.
You can choose your options from any of the disciplines offered by the Faculty of Arts and Science. You may include a limited number of courses from other faculties if you are not already taking an out-of-faculty minor.
