Program offered jointly by the Departments of Biology and Psychology, Neuroscience & Behaviour.

Admission Notes


  1. When completed together, BIOLOGY 1A01  and 1A02  serve as a substitute for BIOLOGY 1A03 . These courses should be completed in the same term. If completed, both BIOLOGY 1A01  and 1A02  would be required for admission.
  2. Completion of one of MATH 1AA3  or 1LT3  and one of COMPSCI 1MD3  or MATH 1MP3  is required by the end of Level II. Completion in Level I is strongly recommended.

Admission


Enrolment in this program is limited and possession of the published minimum requirements does not guarantee admission. Selection is based on academic achievement but requires, as a minimum, completion of any Level I program with a Grade Point Average of at least 5.0 including:
