*Applicability to the field depends upon the actual course content. Approval will have to be granted on an individual basis. Check the list published by the Department each February.

**No more than one FCE of such courses (approved by the Department prior to registering in the course) can be counted towards the Major Field.

See also 3.4 Program Requirements, in particular, the regulations on the number of courses at the 200 level and above allowed in a program and on the List of Science-Equivalent Courses in Other Faculties (Table I).

*Note: Commencing Fall 2011, Biology 241/243 will replace Biology 231/233 as the core introductory departmental courses, serving as prerequisites for the 300-level core biology courses and others. 

Biology 231 and 233 will no longer be offered effective Fall 2011.  To accommodate students with only one course completed when the transition occurs the Department will accept any pairing of the old courses (231/233) and the new courses (241/243) to satisfy the 1.0 FCE junior biology course requirement.

• Students are advised to emphasize either a Molecular Microbiology or a Molecular Cell Biology route to be better equipped for further study and employment in those areas. This listing provides recommended options for students wishing to create a program of courses that explores their particular areas of interest and supports their career goals. It is not expected that students will be able to include all of the suggestions in one area in their programs; neither is the list exhaustive nor exclusive. Some courses may have prerequisites that are not included in the listing.
