Science - ELC Entry - International Year One (UTP Stage II) (Optional Co-op)

Program Description

Science pathway is a student’s first step into realizing their dreams of transforming the world through scientific research, using interactive, theoretical and practical approaches to improving society. In UTP Stage II: Science students choose to focus in one of four different areas: mathematics and data science, experimental science, life science, or general science. These four main areas span eight departments with the opportunity to engage in interdisciplinary studies not only within the Faculty of Science but also across all SFU faculties.

The SFU ELC program is an intensely interactive learning experience in a university setting. It emphasizes the importance of improving the students' language skills and understanding the culture in which a language is used. Students will be able to continue learning independently outside the classroom, and will gain the confidence to use English in any setting.

Students who are eligible for transfer will be admitted to the Faculty of Environment at Simon Fraser University, to continue with their Bachelor of Science program in one the following areas of study:

• Mathematics, Statistics, Applied Math, Actuarial Science Intended*, and Data Science
• Chemistry, Physics, and Earth Sciences
• Biomedical Physiology Intended*, Kinesiology Intended*, Molecular Biology & Biochemistry, and Biological Sciences.

*Students in intended pathways will not be admitted directly to the program. Instead, eligible students will be admitted to the Faculty of Science with an intended major and must then apply for approval (i.e. internal transfer) to these programs once at SFU.
