Honours Chemical Biology (B.Sc.)

Admission Notes

1. It is strongly recommended that PHYSICS 1B03  be completed in Level I. Students who have completed PHYSICS 1L03  instead will be considered for admission. However, PHYSICS 1B03  must be completed by the end of Level II. PHYSICS 1L03  serves as the prerequisite for PHYSICS 1B03  for students who have not completed Grade 12 Physics U. Effective September 2015, it is strongly recommended that PHYSICS 1B03  or 1C03  be completed in Level I. Students who have completed PHYSICS 1L03  instead will be considered for admission. However, PHYSICS 1B03  or 1C03  must be completed by the end of Level II. PHYSICS 1L03  serves as the prerequisite for PHYSICS 1B03  or 1C03  for students who have not completed Grade 12 Physics U.
2. Completion of MATH 1B03  and PHYSICS 1BB3  or 1CC3  is strongly recommended.
3. Students with credit in MATH 1X03  or 1ZA3  may use either as a substitution for MATH 1A03  or 1LS3 .

Admission

Enrolment in this program is limited and possession of the published minimum requirements does not guarantee admission. Selection is based on academic achievement but requires, as a minimum, completion of any Level I program with a Cumulative Average of at least 6.0 including:
