The Dean's Multidisciplinary Undergraduate Research List recognizes Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) students who have participated in substantial and broad undergraduate research.
Eligibility
To be placed on the Dean's Multidisciplinary Undergraduate Research List at graduation time, a student must:
- complete at least 9 credits of research-based courses, taken for a letter grade,
- where qualifying courses are either specified in the list of approved research courses,
- or are approved on a case-by-case basis by the Faculty of Science.
Furthermore:
- at least one qualifying course, worth at least 3 credits, must be from a different unit than the other research-based courses; and
- every qualifying course must have been completed with a grade of C or above; and
- the average GPA over all qualifying courses must be 3.0 or above.
If these requirements are met, the mention "Dean's Multidisciplinary Undergraduate Research List" will be recorded on the student's transcript at graduation time.
Application
No application is necessary for students who have taken courses from the approved list; all B.Sc. graduating students' dossiers are considered by the Office for Undergraduate Research in Science.
However, if students have taken a research course not already on the approved list, and wish for this course to be counted toward the Dean's Multidisciplinary Undergraduate Research List, they must apply. Qualifying courses may be offered either within the Faculty of Science or outside. For information on how to apply, students should contact the Office for Undergraduate Research in Science at least 4 months prior to graduation (e.g., February 1, for June graduation; July 1, for November graduation; August 1, for February graduation).
