The BSc degree is offered as a Major or Minor. An Honours Bachelor of Science degree is also available. As a student in the Sciences at VIU, they will work closely with professors in small classes and participate in experiential learning in the classroom, the lab and the field to develop the skills they need to make significant contributions to society in the form of scientific discoveries, advancements and breakthroughs. VIU’s Science degrees build on a strong record of undergraduate education, dating back to 1969. Graduates of VIU have gone on to graduate schools and professional schools at major universities, while others have used their degree to enter successful careers. A degree in the sciences is both valuable in itself and as a foundation for a wide variety of careers. The science degrees at VIU provide a sound preparation for both employment and further education. Students who may be interested in graduate studies may need to write a Graduate Record Exam (GRE) and may need to complete courses that are considered options for their B.Sc.
