¹Students may apply a maximum of 9 units from independent project courses numbered 507, 528 and 530 towards their major field; of these 9 units, students are permitted a maximum of 6 units of independent project courses labelled as 507 offered by the Department of Biological Sciences.

²Applicability 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.

³No more than 6 units of Medical Science courses can be counted towards the Major Field; Medical Science courses other than those specifically listed here require Department approval prior to registering in the course.
