Am I eligible to graduate? To graduate you must satisfy two sets of requirements: the Faculty of Science's and the Integrated Sciences Program's. It is your responsibility to ensure you meet the Faculty of Science graduation requirements as listed in the calendar. The Science graduation checklist may also be helpful.

Directed Studies

Rik Blok — 2012-02-10T19:55:59-07:00

How do I apply for Directed Studies (ISCI 448)? First you will need to find a supervisor--a faculty member at UBC who is working in an area you are interested in. It is up to you to find and contact the supervisor. If the faculty member agrees to supervise a project you should next plan out the details. What will the project involve? How much work will it entail? How will you be evaluated?

Courses

Rik Blok — 2012-02-10T19:55:43-07:00

Can I register in ISCI courses before my IntSci program has been approved? Yes, you can if your application file is close to completion, i.e., if you have already found a mentor, have written your essays and have proposed a curriculum. If you are close to submitting your application for sign-off and review and need to register in an ISCI course, please contact the IntSci office, who will be able to help you.

With one-on-one help from a faculty advisor IntSci students develop their own curriculum, i.e. their own set of courses, based on an overarching theme of integrating scientific disciplines of their choice. The chosen curriculum must clearly integrate at least two disciplines. In particular, the curriculum must not substantially mirror any existing degree progr…
