I. Introduction
Dalhousie’s Faculty of Science, the primary centre in the region for science education and research, is part of the College of Arts and Science and consists of 9 departments. The principal mission of the Faculty is the discovery, organization, dissemination and preservation of knowledge and understanding of the natural world. The Faculty is dedicated to excellence in the pursuit of this mission. Students in the Faculty of Science develop a capacity for inquiry, logical thinking and analysis; cultivate an ability to communicate with precision and style; and acquire skills and attitudes for lifelong learning.
Undergraduate students in the Faculty of Science normally develop these abilities by concentrating their studies in one or more of the following areas: Biochemistry & Molecular Biology, Biology, Biotechnology, Chemistry, Earth Sciences, Economics, Environmental Science, Marine Biology, Mathematics, Meteorology, Microbiology & Immunology, Neuroscience, Physics and Atmospheric Science, Psychology, and Statistics. It is possible to combine studies in many of these areas with minor programs in areas outside the main faculty (see Minor Programs, page 74) or with a Co-op Education in Science option. (This requires work term opportunities.) Combined Honours programs with Oceanography are offered. Details concerning particular programs of study are found in the departmental entries.
