Note(s)
1This course runs from September to April.
2BCH4040 is highly recommended. A minimum CGPA of 6.5 or greater or a GPA of 6.5 or greater calculated from the two most recent years of full-time study in the Specialization program (minimum of 54 credits including all compulsory all compulsory 3000 level courses) is required. Departmental permission is required to replace BCH4040 with BPS4127 or BPS4104 or BIO4138 and six credits of approved 3000 or 4000 level sciences electives.
3This course may not be available every year.

This message is intended for students registered in the Faculty of Science. If the components of your program of study require common compulsory courses, you will have to replace the credits as follows:

1) 1000-level courses must be replaced with elective course credits;

2) 2000-level courses and above must be replaced with optional course credits from either discipline at the same level or above.

Please note that all programs in the Faculty of Science require a minimum of 12 elective course credits from the Faculty of Arts, the Faculty of Education, the Faculty of Law, the Faculty of Social Sciences or the Telfer School of Management. Once you have decided on the replacement courses, please inform the Office of Undergraduate Programs of the Faculty of Science by email at [email protected] so we may amend your Rabaska audit accordingly.
