Description:Tackling the global challenges of climate change, pandemics and new energy sources requires research in more than a single field of science. Modern scientists must have a more multi-disciplinary foundation, and be encouraged to ask creative, critical, interdisciplinary questions, while possessing a wide range of communication tools to provide answers. The Honours B.Sc. Integrated Science (iSci) Program at McMaster University has been designed for this explicit purpose. The Honours (iSci) program is the country's most innovative undergraduate science program, blending content from across the science disciplines, while focusing on the foundations of chemistry, earth science, life science, mathematics and physics.
