The major will require the completion of 20.00 credits as indicated below.
The course content of semesters 1 to 3 is the same as listed in the regular Honours Program Major.
To graduate from the Co-op program a minimum of 4 successfully completed work terms is normally required.

| 0.50 Arts or Social Science electives | ||
| Students who are lacking one 4U /grade 12 course in Biology, Chemistry or Physics must take the equivalent introductory course in first semester. The required first-year science courses in that subject should be completed according to the revised schedule of studies available at: https://www.uoguelph.ca/bsc/revised_SS | ||
