The Freshman Program is designed to provide a basic science foundation to students entering university for the first time from a high school system (outside of the Quebec CEGEP system). The Freshman Year consists of at least 30 credits in fundamental math and science courses as preparation for one of the following degree programs:
- B.Sc. (Agricultural & Environmental Sciences)
- B.Eng. (Bioresource)
- B.Sc. (Nutritional Sciences)
- B.Sc. (Food Science)
- Concurrent B.Sc. (Food Science) and B.Sc. (Nutritional Sciences)
Students who have completed the Diploma of Collegial Studies, Advanced Placement Exams, Advanced Levels, the International Baccalaureate, the French Baccalaureate, or Ã山ǿ¼é Placement examinations may receive exemption and/or credit for all or part of the basic science courses in biology, chemistry, physics and mathematics. Similarly students who have completed courses at other universities or colleges may receive exemptions and/or credits. Students should consult with the Faculty's Student Affairs Office.

- Bachelor of Science (Agricultural and Environmental Sciences) (B.Sc.(Ag.Env.Sc.)) - Freshman Program (30 credits)
- Bachelor of Engineering (Bioresource) (B.Eng.(Bioresource)) - Freshman Program (30 credits)
- Bachelor of Science (Food Science) (B.Sc.(F.Sc.)) - Freshman Program (30 credits)
- Bachelor of Science (Nutritional Sciences) (B.Sc.(Nutr.Sc.)) - Freshman Program (30 credits)
- Concurrent Bachelor of Science Food Science (B.Sc. (F.Sc.)) and Bachelor of Science Nutritional Sciences (B.Sc. (Nutr.Sc.)) - Freshman Program (Concurrent) (30 credits)
Bachelor of Science (Agricultural and Environmental Sciences) (B.Sc.(Ag.Env.Sc.)) - Freshman Program (30 credits)
(all majors except Agricultural Economics - see Advising Notes below*)
If you are entering university for the first time from a high school system, outside of Quebec CEGEP system, you will be required to complete a freshman year of at least 30 credits as listed below.
Normally, students registered in the Faculty of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences Freshman program may take a maximum of 8 credits outside the Faculty offerings to meet the requirements of the program. Permission to exceed this limit must be received from the Associate Dean (Student Affairs) prior to registration.
Note: If you are not certain that you have adequate math and/or physics skills to commence the freshman year you may wish to take preparatory courses prior to the normal Fall semester. You are encouraged to discuss your potential need with your academic adviser.

B.Sc. (Ag. & Env. Sci.) - Agricultural Economics Major - Freshman Program (30 credits)
If you are entering university for the first time from a high school system, outside of the Quebec CEGEP system, you will be required to complete a freshman year of at least 30 credits as listed below.
Note: Mathematical skill level will be determined during the first week of classes. The freshman adviser may recommend students register for an additional weekly Precalculus Lab, of one credit, which may be applied towards the required credits of the degree program.

Advising Notes:
* Freshman students intending to major in Agricultural Economics in the B.Sc. (Ag. & Env. Sci.) degree program should note that the courses AEBI 120 (General Biology), AECH 111 (General Chemistry 2), and AEPH 114 (Introductory Physics 2) are required for all other majors in the B.Sc. (Ag. & Env. Sci.) degree. Students who are uncertain about their choice of major should be completing the 'regular' Agricultural & Environmental Sciences Freshman Program; the AGEC 200/201 courses would then be taken as part of the 'regular' U1 curriculum should they ultimately decide on the Agricultural Economics Major.
** Freshman students planning to choose the Agricultural Economics Major will still be required to complete 90 credits in the major. Since AGEC 200 and AGEC 201 are normally required in the U1 year of the program, students who take these courses in their freshman year wil be required to substitute 6 other credits. Students should discuss suitable replacement courses with their adviser.
