On the application or after — the Bachelor of Science (PS, 70% minimum) is a genuinely undeclared door, and you choose a major from the seven inside it.
What to watch for
Nipissing has no engineering of any kind. Computer Science, chosen inside the Bachelor of Science, is the software route. Nipissing admits to the Bachelor of Science as one OUAC code, PS, at a 70% minimum; the seven science majors are chosen inside it. Liberal Science (PLB) is the non-specialised version.
