The Faculty of Science is committed to providing its students with a quality education emphasizing personal attention, choice and flexibility. In the Bachelor of Science program, students can expect opportunities for practical, hands-on experience across a spectrum of science disciplines in the classroom, in the lab, and in the field. In addition, there are opportunities for students to work with nationally and internationally recognized professor-researchers in their research laboratories.
The Bachelor of Science is a rigorous program that provides students with both depth and breadth in their science education. Communication skills and computer literacy are promoted. Flexibility in the program allows students to pursue interests in disciplines outside their area of specialization.
Thompson Rivers University offers three routes to a BSc degree: a major in a specific discipline or disciplines, an honours program in a specific discipline (currently available only in biology, chemical biology, mathematics and computing science), or a general science degree.
Many of Thompson Rivers University’s graduates are highly successful and have gone on to science careers in medicine, veterinary medicine, medical genetics, elementary and high school teaching, resource management, high tech industry, biotechnology, optometry, pharmacy, dentistry, wildlife management, respiratory therapy and more. A significant number of Thompson Rivers University Science graduates have been very successful in graduate schools and have received NSERC scholarships to continue their studies.
Co-operative education allows students to integrate academic studies with paid periods of relevant experience. Students alternate between periods of oncampus, full-time study, and work terms, which are full-time, paid employment.
BSc students majoring in biology (animal, general, cellular, molecular and microbial, ecology and environmental biology), chemical biology, chemistry (chemistry or environmental chemistry), physics, mathematics or computing science must apply to enter a co-op education option in their program.
