About Science 2+2
Students complete their first two years of university education followed by their third and fourth years of study in Canada.

Once participating students have met the degree requirements of each university, they earn a Bachelor of Science (BSc) or Bachelor of Art (BA) degree from York University.
The actual length of study at York will depend on the number of transfer credits and the number of courses a participating student takes each term.
