This science program offers a smorgasbord of options — sample various disciplines before choosing your specialization. Perfect for students exploring multiple interests or those uncertain about their academic focus. You'll engage with three or four fundamental science fields — including biology, chemistry, biochemistry, computer science, environmental science, mathematics, physics, or economics — then narrow down to two primary areas. Numerous participants transition to specialized four-year honors programs after their first or second year. Additionally, it's ideal for students seeking an accelerated three-year degree.
Chemistry earns its title as the "central science" by bridging physical sciences with life sciences and applied fields.
