Compulsory third-year courses:
33 credits (minimum) of science electives to be completed by the end of the third year.1
12 credits of non-science electives outside the Faculties of Science, Engineering and Medecine.
NOTE: Some courses are available only in alternate years. Students should pay close attention to co-requisites and prerequisites when selecting courses that may reflect their interest in biology such as cell and molecular biology, ecology, physiology and plant biology.
Note(s)
124 of the 33 credits must be in biology, biopharmaceutical science or environmental science at the 3000- and/or 4000-level. A minimum of three credits of laboratory or field work must be included among the 24 credits in biology. This means either one laboratory course of three credits or two courses with a laboratory or field component. Exceptionally, courses PHS3240 and PHA4107, CSI and MIC are recognized as science electives, but cannot count as biology credits.
