SBI3C1 –Biology grade 11 College. Geared for students intending to attend College in the biological sciences. Course does not have as heavy a theoretical content as the University stream. There is no grade 12 college biology course.Prerequisite: SNC2P1

SBI3U1 –Biology grade 11 University. Geared for students intending to attend University in the biological sciences, by preparing them for grade 12 University biology. Course has a heavy theoretical content. Students who do not want an introductory biology course with a heavy theoretical content should choose SBI 3C.Prerequisite: SNC2D1

SCH3U1 –Chemistry grade 11 University. Geared for students intending to attend University in the physical or biological sciences, by preparing them for grade 12 University chemistry. Course has a heavy theoretical content. This course is highly recommended before attempting SBI4U. Students who do not want an introductory chemistry course with a heavy theoretical content should choose SCH4C.Prerequisite: SNC2D1

SNC3M1 –Science grade 11 –University/College. Geared for students who do not intend to pursue a science related program in college or University but are interested in science and its applications. Course covers: Chemicals and chemical safety (Chemistry), Body input and nutrition (Biology), Waste management (Environmental science), Space science (Physics) and Technologies in every day life. Course does not have a heavy mathematical content but due to the wide range of topics covered, students should have an interest in all sciences and be able to communicate ideas effectively.Prerequisite: SNC2D1 or SNC2P1

SPH3U1 –Physics grade 11 University. Geared for students intending to attend University in the physical sciences, mathematics or engineering by preparing them for grade 12 University physics. Course has a heavy mathematical and theoretical content. Students who do not want an introductory physics course with a heavy mathematical content should choose SPH4C.Prerequisite: SNC2D1

SBI4U1 –Biology grade 12 University. Geared for students intending to attend University in the biological sciences. Course has a heavy theoretical content. Students should elect to do SCH3U before attempting this course, as it will require that students have a chemistry background.
