What is the Coordinated Science Program?

The Coordinated Science Program (CSP) is an alternative to standard first year science, suitable for students who have broad scientific interests and want to explore the sciences in a community of like-minded students. All CSP students attend the same sections of specific core science courses in Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Math, and may participate in the Computer Science option if desired. In addition, the Program provides a weekly CSP Workshop with hands-on activities that reinforce coursework or support development of general academic skills such as problem solving and communication. With a class size of under thirty students, CSP Workshop enables students to work in small groups that facilitate formation of friendships and academic learning groups.

Community

With a CSP study space in the I.K. Barber Learning Centre, the small group workshop and common enrollment in specific sections of core science courses, CSP students feel part of a small social and learning community within the 1600 first year science students at UBC.

Enthusiastic Professors

CSP also has enthusiastic, approachable professors and lecturers who inspire students to learn scientific concepts at a fundamental level.

Act Now

Registration in CSP is limited to 168 students on a first-come, first-served basis.
