How to choose a Natural Science Course

Please select a Natural Science course carefully as enrolment limits are imposed, and students who drop a course may find it difficult to enrol in another of their choice.

Course descriptions and outlines can be consulted to help you decide upon which course most interests you (and fits your timetable). Although a rudimentary background in a scientific discipline can be helpful, an interest in and willingness to explore new territory is far more important. If you enjoy the course material you have selected, you will succeed in retaining the information (for life?) and obtaining a better grade as well.

Students should follow these instructions while selecting a course:

  1. Decide what course interests you the most
  2. Determine when the course is offered (are you always available?)
  3. Review the format (double speed, fully online, ) and decide if it works for you
  4. Enrol

For courses with laboratories or tutorials, there will be no labs or tutorials scheduled during the first week of classes in September and January.

To obtain assistance with choosing a NATS course, please contact the NATS Undergraduate Program Director, or contact the NATS office at 416-736-5021 or natsci@yorku.ca.
