Overview
The Certificate in Science Foundations helps students build the background knowledge needed for further study in science, or offers a shorter route to update prior science knowledge before entering a degree program. The 30-credit program consists of required coursework in biology (3 credits), chemistry (6 credits), mathematics (9 credits) and physics (12 credits). It is delivered on campus across the Sir George Williams and Loyola campuses and is normally completed in one year of full-time study. It is administered within the Faculty of Arts and Science, distinct from the Gina Cody School of Engineering and Computer Science's Certificate in Science and Technology. Students are admitted for the Fall or Winter term, with application deadlines of March 1 for Fall and November 1 for Winter (February 1 and August 1 respectively for international applicants).
