Science 100
A Unique First-year Learning Experience
Science is changing: The solutions to most of the significant scientific challenges today and in the future will often lie beyond the scope of any single discipline.
In order to meet this challenge, the University of Alberta offers Science 100, a unique learning opportunity designed to encourage students to think beyond disciplinary boundaries as they explore answers to complex problems. Science 100 integrates core first year material from each of the seven departments in the Faculty of Science into a single, intense year long course.
It is highly interdisciplinary in nature, focusing on discovery learning with emphasis on creativity, inquiry and thinking in non-traditional ways. With a smaller class size, students will learn in an environment that encourages interactions amongst students and between students and teaching staff, preparing them for this new age of collaborative/interdisciplinary scientific discovery.
Students successfully completing Science 100 will have sufficient pre-requisites to enter almost any second year science program offered by the Faculty of Science at the University of Alberta.
