Although this course sequence appears flexible with respect to course choices, students should carefully plan their course selections to ensure that prerequisites for upper-level courses are obtained. For example, students interested in taking senior statistics courses should take Mathematics 321 and 323 in Year 2, item 2.; students interested in senior Pure Mathematics courses should take Pure Mathematics 315 in Year 2, item 2.; students interested in senior Applied Mathematics courses should take Applied Mathematics 311 in Year 2, item 2., etc.

It is a Faculty of Science requirement that students must take Non-Science options from the following five Faculties. At least 1.0 FCE must be taken from each of two of these Faculties: Fine Arts, Communication and Culture, Humanities, Social Science, Haskayne School of Business. Science 311 may be counted among the Non-Science Options.
It is recommended that some courses in the history or philosophy of science and technology be included in the program. Possibilities are: Engineering 481, Science, Technology and Society 325, 341, History 371, Philosophy 367, Greek and Roman Studies 221.
It is the responsibility of the student to include the prerequisites for courses in Third Year, Item 1 in his or her program.
