Recommendations

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.

Molecular Cell Biology:

Biochemistry 547, 555; Cellular, Molecular and Microbial Biology 403, 413, 505, 511, 519, 523, 531, 561; Plant Biology 401

Molecular Microbiology:

Biochemistry 561; Biology 435; Cellular, Molecular and Microbial Biology 421, 431, 443, 523, 543, 545, 549, 563, 565, 567; Medical Science 612, 613; Plant Biology 401

  • Some recommended options are Biochemistry 401, 403, 471, 543, 547; Biology 315; Zoology 375, 377.
  • 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.
