Program details

Overview

This program leads to a Bachelor of Science in Natural Sciences at the University of Calgary's Faculty of Science, delivered on campus. It is a multidisciplinary degree allowing students to concentrate on two specialties chosen from biology, chemistry, computer science, geoscience, mathematics, and physics, with learning built around actively working through problems in class, tutorials, and the laboratory. The program includes lab work, study-abroad opportunities, field school options, and access to the optional Arts and Science Honours Academy. Sample courses include energy transformations, general chemistry covering structure and bonding, mechanics, science in society, and research design and statistical analysis. No co-operative work term, thesis, or practicum component is described. The program suits students who want both depth in one scientific area and breadth across others rather than a single-discipline major. Graduates take up varied roles depending on their chosen specialties, and the degree also serves as a stepping-stone to graduate study or to professional programs in law, medicine, veterinary medicine, or architecture.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Direct entry from Alberta high school. Required courses: English Language Arts 30-1, Mathematics 30-1, plus two of Biology 30, Chemistry 30, Physics 30, Mathematics 31 or CTS Computing Science 30 (5 credits), plus one further approved 30-level course or option. Equivalent IB, AP or other international curricula are accepted via the university's curriculum-specific requirements tool. Estimated competitive admission average for this cycle: High 80s. Direct-entry Bachelor of Science program; no supplementary application or portfolio is required.

Application Details

Application Deadline: For Fall 2027 entry, the University of Calgary opens undergraduate applications for domestic applicants on 1 October 2026 and for international applicants on 15 August 2026, both closing on the same firm application deadline of 1 March 2027, with supporting documents due by 15 March 2027 and offers accepted by 1 May 2027. International applicants follow the identical March 1 deadline; the university publishes no separate, later international closing date. Applications are not accepted on a rolling basis after the deadline for most direct-entry programmes, though a small number of programmes (e.g. Nursing) run further selection rounds into the summer while space remains. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
