Science One is an innovative team-taught first-year undergraduate Science program at UBC in which students study Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics and Physics with a strong focus on the connections between these traditional disciplines. The core component of the Science One program is a single academically rigorous multidisciplinary 25-credit course consisting of lectures, tutorials, laboratories and field trips which is supplemented by interdisciplinary modules. BIOL 140 (2 credits) is a mandatory co-requisite to Science One and is co-scheduled through the use of standard timetables.

The program emphasizes and cultivates critical, independent thought as the basis of scientific inquiry. As well, we focus on facilitating the development of learning skills that we feel are crucial for future academic success.

We are a community of 70-80 students supported by 8 Science One faculty and associated library and laboratory staff. Our faculty to student ratio is highly advantageous for a first-year university program.
