All degree requirements must be fulfilled for a COGS major to graduate. Once you have been admitted to a COGS major, your degree requirements will vary depending on your Faculty and specialization. Select the menu item to the left that corresponds to your COGS stream. The degree requirements listed here are taken from the UBC Academic Calendar.
A note to prospective students: degree requirements (required for graduation) are not to be confused with admission requirements (required to apply into the COGS program).
Faculty Requirements
In addition to meeting COGS degree requirements, students are also responsible for ensuring they have met the requirements specified by their faculty prior to applying for graduation:
- B.Sc. students: https://science.ubc.ca/students/faculty-requirements
- B.A. students: https://www.arts.ubc.ca/degree-planning/degree-requirements/bachelor-of-arts/
