Course Listings

The courses listed in this section include all courses approved for the undergraduate curriculum for the 2018-2019 academic year. Not all courses in the approved curriculum will be offered during the year. Students are advised to refer to the course timetables available annually in Mosaic in March and June to determine which specific courses will be offered in the upcoming sessions.
Note: An A/B suffix appearing in a course number indicates that the course may be delivered across more than one term (see Multi-Term Course in the Glossary  of this calendar). The A/B S suffix indicates that the course may be delivered as either a multi-term course or within a single term.

Notes

1. Level IV Research Seminar topics may change from year to year. Research Seminar topics and descriptions are available on the web (http://www.science.mcmaster.ca/lifesciences) and from the Life Sciences office in February of each year. Honours Life Sciences students must complete at least 3 units of Knowledge Transfer/Seminar Experience (Course List E).

2. Effective January 2018, students entering Level IV or V of an Honours Life Sciences program must complete and submit a ballot, rank ordering their preference for enrolment in Level IV seminar offerings. Students will be informed of the outcome of the balloting process by late April. Failure to submit a ballot, by the stated deadline may compromise enrolment in preferred seminar.  Ballots can be obtained from the School of Interdisciplinary Science web site (http://www.science.mcmaster.ca/lifesciences).

3. Course planning is extremely important. Students must review and consider the requisites on Level II, III and IV courses when enrolling in the previous Levels.
