- the (See Admission Note above.)
Program Notes
- The Honours Molecular Biology and Genetics Research Specialization program allows students to choose Biology courses which reflect their own Molecular Biology-related interests and includes additional lab and/or field and research experience. Students are encouraged to discuss their course selections with a Biology academic program advisor.
- BIOLOGY 2B03 , 2EE3 and MOLBIOL 2C03 must be completed in Level II.
- Six units of BIOLOGY 2A03 , 2D03 , 2F03 , 3FF3 are required. However, completion of at least nine units is recommended.
- Completion of STATS 2B03 is required for admission to the Honours Molecular Biology and Genetics Research Specialization (Co-op) program and therefore, students intending to apply for the Co-op option must complete STATS 2B03 in Level II.
- Students interested in microbiology and biotechnology and especially those considering postgraduate studies in this area should take the following courses: BIOLOGY 4PP3 , MOLBIOL 4P03 .
- BIOLOGY 2L03 , MOLBIOL 3A03 and 3I03 A/B S are recommended as preparatory courses for MOLBIOL 4G12 A/B S .
- Completion of MOLBIOL 4G12 A/B S is required in Level IV. Students who entered the program prior to September 2021, will have the choice to complete BIOLOGY 4C12 A/B S or 4F06 A/B S to meet this requirement. Students who have not obtained the minimum Grade Point Average as stated in the prerequisite, may request a requisite waiver from the Undergraduate Associate Chair. Students denied permission may not continue in the program and must apply to transfer to the Honours Biology Core program. Effective September 2023, students denied permission may not continue in the program and will be transferred to the Honours Molecular Biology and Genetics Core program.
- Effective September 2023, students who are not interested in completing MOLBIOL 4G12 A/B S may transfer to the Honours Molecular Biology and Genetics Core program.
