Students may not be able to include all suggestions of a given area in their programs; neither is the list exhaustive nor exclusive. Many courses have prerequisites that are not listed.
Courses in Marine Science may be taken for credit during the summer and/or students may elect to spend the fall of either the third or fourth year attending the Bamfield Fall Program. Refer to the Marine Science course listings for details.
