Enrolment in this program is limited. Selection is based on academic achievement and an interview but requires, as a minimum, submission of the on-line application by the stated deadline, and completion of Level II Honours Chemical Biology with a Cumulative Average of at least 6.0. (It is anticipated that a Cumulative Average of at least 9.5 will be required.) Information about the program and the selection procedure may be obtained from Science Career and Cooperative Education.
Program Notes
This is a five-level (year) co-op program which includes two eight-month work terms that must be spent in chemical biology-related placements.
Students must be registered full-time and take a full academic workload as prescribed by Level and by Term.
Students are required to complete SCIENCE 2C00 before the first work placement and are recommended to complete this course in Level II.
There are Level II and III prerequisites for many Level III and IV courses. The prerequisites should be considered when choosing your Level II and III courses.
Certain Level III and IV courses are offered in alternate years. Students are advised to consider course offerings carefully in planning their course selection for Levels III and IV.
Students seeking admission to graduate school are strongly advised to complete CHEM 3AA3 and 6 units from CHEMBIO 4A03, 4OA3, 4OB3. CHEMBIO 4GG9 A/B is also strongly recommended and must be completed in Level IV.
