Some 3000-4000 level lecture courses are offered in French and English in alternate years.
A minimum of 15 credits at the 3000 level or above must include a laboratory component.

* This course is beyond the requirements of the programs in science.
** Minimum of 9 credits must be from the Faculties of Arts, Education, Law, Social Science or the School of Management.

For students registered in the Faculty of Science: If the components of your program of study require common compulsory courses, you will have to replace the credits as follows:
1) 1000-level courses must be replaced with electives;
2) 2000-level courses and above must be replaced with courses from either discipline at the same level or above.

Once you have decided on the replacement courses, please inform the Office of Undergraduate Programs of the Faculty of Science by email at infosci@uOttawa.ca so we may amend your Rabaska audit accordingly.

Co-operative education is available with this program.
The extended French stream is available with this program.
