General Information
The subject area requirements listed on this page are part of the Bachelor of Science (Major and Honors) program offered by the Faculty of Science. Students must ensure they are familiar with and follow all program requirements in addition to the subject area requirements outlined below. To find a description about this area of study, please visit Our Degrees of the Faculty of Science webpage. Courses for Subject Area GPA
Astrophysics subject area GPA will be calculated including all courses at the 200-level or above with course designators ASTRO, BIOPH, GEOPH, PHYS, and MA PH. Honors in Astrophysics Requirements
6 units from:
- any 400-level ASTRO course
9 units from:
- any 400-level ASTRO course
Notes
- This requirement may also be fulfilled by completing one of MATH 334 or MATH 336 and MATH 337 .
- This requirement may also be fulfilled by completing both MATH 315 and MATH 311 .
- ASTRO 120 and ASTRO 122 are recommended as Science options.
- Not all 200-, 300-, and 400-level Physics courses are offered every year so students should plan accordingly.
- Students without a background in computer programming are strongly encouraged to take CMPUT 191 (or CMPUT 174 ) as one of their Science options in their first year.
Major in Astrophysics Requirements
3 units from:
- any 400-level ASTRO course
Notes
- This requirement may also be fulfilled by completing both MATH 334 and MATH 337 .
- This requirement may also be fulfilled by completing both MATH 315 and MATH 311 .
- Some courses appear in more than one requirement. Students may not use the same course to satisfy more than one requirement.
- ASTRO 120 and ASTRO 122 are recommended as Science options.
- Not all 200-, 300-, and 400-level Physics courses are offered every year so students should plan accordingly.
- Students without a background in computer programming are strongly encouraged to take CMPUT 191 (or CMPUT 174 )as one of their Science options in their first year.
Minor in Astrophysics Requirements
Notes:
- Upper level ASTRO and PHYS courses may require specific MATH courses as prerequisites. These prerequisites must be considered when choosing Science options.
