193.5 After Degrees

    An individual holding one or more undergraduate degrees from recognized post-secondary institutions may earn an additional undergraduate degree (After Degree) from the Faculty of Science. The After Degree may be a BSc General, a BSc Specialization or a BSc Honors degree. The BSc Specialization in Science and Education degree is not available as an After Degree. There may be a limit on the number of After Degree students admitted each year because the Faculty of Science is under enrolment management. Admission priority will be given to students applying for their first after degree from the Faculty of Science.

    Note: For success in your chosen program, ensure you have satisfied the pre/corequisite requirements for all courses. Departments have the right to remove students from courses for failing to present a passing grade (or higher, where stipulated) in the prerequisite course(s) and/or for failing to be enrolled in the corequisite course(s). Please see www.science.ualberta.ca/en/ProspectiveStudents/ScienceDegrees.aspx for more information.

(1)

All of the admission, program, academic standing and graduation standards that apply to a regular degree also apply to After Degree programs, except as noted in §192.5.2. Admission to a BSc Specialization or BSc Honors After Degree program requires the approval of the appropriate Department and the Faculty office. Please refer to section §15.15 for program admission requirements in the Faculty of Science.

(2)

An After Degree may not duplicate the degree(s) previously completed. The major or minor of a BSc General After Degree may not be the same as the major or minor of the previous degree(s). The only exception is that students who wish to upgrade a previous Science minor to be the major in the After Degree may do so provided their new minor does not overlap with either the major or minor of the previous degree(s). In the case of BSc Specialization and BSc Honors programs, the area of concentration may not be the same as that of the previous degree(s). However, qualified students holding a BSc General degree from this institution or its equivalent from another institution may use the After Degree to upgrade their previous major to a BSc Specialization or BSc Honors program.

(3)

If applying to a BSc General After Degree program, a major and a minor must be declared upon application.

(4)

All students in After Degree programs must follow the program to which they have been admitted and must demonstrate progress towards completion of the degree in each Fall/Winter (see §192.5.2).

(5)

To complete an After Degree, a minimum *30 will be required if the student holds a BSc degree from the Faculty of Science at the University of Alberta, and a minimum of *60 will be required if the student holds an undergraduate degree from another Faculty or University. The actual number of credits required to complete an After Degree is dependent on the coursework that was completed prior to the After Degree program and will be determined at the time of admission.

(6)

In a BSc General After Degree program, students with a previous BSc General degree from the Faculty of Science at the University of Alberta must complete a minimum of *9 senior units in their major and a minimum of *6 senior units in their minor while registered in the After Degree program. Students holding a degree from outside the Faculty of Science at the University of Alberta must complete a minimum of *18 senior units in their major and a minimum of *12 senior units in their minor while registered in the After Degree program.

(7)

In a BSc Specialization or BSc Honors After Degree program, students with a previous undergraduate degree from the Faculty of Science at the University of Alberta must complete a minimum of *15 senior units in the area of concentration of the new degree while registered in the After Degree program. Students holding a degree from outside the Faculty of Science at the University of Alberta must complete a minimum of *24 in the area of concentration of the new degree while registered in the After Degree program.
