Honours Molecular Biology and Genetics Research Specialization Co-op (B.Sc.)
|
|
This program has been renamed Honours Molecular Biology and Genetics Research Specialization Co-op (B.Sc.).
Students who enrolled prior to September 2022 will be given the choice to remain in Honours Molecular Biology and Genetics Co-op or transfer into Honours Molecular Biology and Genetics Research Specialization Co-op.

Admission
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, completion of Level II of an Honours Molecular Biology and Genetics program with a Grade Point Average of at least 5.0 and completion of the following courses:
Notes
- Admission is by selection, and possession of the published minimum requirements does not guarantee admission. (It is anticipated that a Grade Point Average of at least 8.0 will be required.) Information about this program and the selection procedure can be obtained from Science Career and Cooperation Education Office.
-
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 prior to the Fall Term of Level III. Students are required to complete SCIENCE 3C00 before the first work placement.
- 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.
- STATS 2B03 is required for admission.
- Completion of MOLBIOL 4G12 A/B S is required for this program. Students should consult the MOLBIOL 4G12 A/B S Course Coordinator regarding supervision arrangements. Students are strongly encouraged to carry out their thesis in an academic lab.
- Students must take a minimum of 15 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.
