Bachelor of Science Program Groups
Science students admitted after September 2009 are limited to choosing liberal, majors, or honours programs within the Science group to which they were admitted, but may continue to choose freely from all available minor programs. Students pursuing a Liberal Science Program – Core Science Component (CSC) may also select a second CSC from any group. See Liberal, Major, and Honours Programs.
The groups within the B.Sc. are:
- Biological, Biomedical & Life Sciences Group
- Bio-Physical-Computational Sciences Group
- Neuroscience Group
- Physical, Earth, Math & Computer Science Group
A list of specific programs in each group is available via the above links. To change to a major or honours program in another Science group, students must make an Intra-Faculty Transfer application. For additional information on the degree transfer process, please refer to this link: mcgill.ca/science/undergraduate/academic-advising/inter-faculty-and-intra-faculty-transfers.
