BIOLOGY 2A03 is only available as a Winter Term offering and, therefore, completion in Level II (prior to admission to the Co-op program) is strongly recommended for students who intend to complete this course.
Program Notes
- This is a five-level (year) co-op program, which includes two eight-month work terms which must be spent in molecular biology and genetics related placements.
- Students must be registered full-time and take a full academic workload as prescribed by Level and Term.
- Students are required to complete SCIENCE 2C00 before the first work placement and are recommended to complete the course in Level II.
- Students should seek academic advising for this program in the Department of Biology.
- Completion of BIOLOGY 2B03 and MOLBIOL 2C03 is required prior to admission to this program.
- Effective September, 2017, STATS 2B03 is required for admission. Students who enrol in the program in September 2016 (or earlier) must complete the requirement by the end of Level III.
- Students should consult the MOLBIOL 4GG9 Course Coordinator regarding supervision arrangements. Students are strongly encouraged to carry out their thesis in an academic lab.
- Students must take a minimum of 18 units from the Molecular Biology and Genetics Co-op Course Lists I and II, at least 12 of these units must be from Course List I, and at least 3 of these units must be at Level IV.
- Six units from BIOLOGY 2A03 , 2D03 , 2F03 are required for admission, however, students are encouraged to complete each of these courses. When more than six units are completed, these will count toward the Molecular Biology and Genetics Co-op Course List II program requirement.
