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.
