1. The 18 credits of Electives must include at least six credits from the Humanities and/or Social Sciences (excluding GEOG and JURI).

    
2. Many courses in this program require the use of computers.  Students with little or no computer background are therefore strongly encouraged to include an appropriate Computer Science course in their Electives in first year.

    
3. Students planning to apply to graduate studies are advised to include Physics or additional Mathematics and/or Computer Science courses among their 18 credits of Electives.

    
4. The 27 credits of Program Options must be chosen from the appropriate groups (Group I or Group II) (with at least 12 credits chosen at the 3000 or 4000 level).
