• Certain 600-level courses may be considered to fulfill program requirements. Consult the department for further information.

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.

²Certain courses with restricted enrolments are available in the first instance to those Program Honours and Majors who have met all prerequisites and whose programs require such courses. After a specific registration period for those students, other students who have met all prerequisites may be accommodated.

³Applicability to the field depends upon the actual course content. Additional approvals will be granted on a course-by-course basis.

⁴No more than 6 units of such courses (approved by the Department prior to registering in the course) can be counted towards the major field.

⁵No more than 3 units of the courses in this group may be counted towards the major field.

Students must successfully complete a minimum of 48 units, to a maximum of 66 units, in Courses Constituting the Field of Biological Sciences while fulfilling the following requirements:

There is a Recommended Course Sequence for this program. This sequence describes both the recommended order in which courses should be taken and the recommended course(s) in instances where multiple courses may fulfill a degree requirement. All possible courses that may fulfill degree requirements are found in the Required Courses listed above.

Taking courses in the order of the Recommended Course Sequence will ensure students can complete their program in a timely fashion. The time to complete a program may be lengthened if students choose to complete their requirements in an alternate order.

Students must successfully complete a minimum of 60 units, to a maximum of 78 units, in Courses Constituting the Field of Biological Sciences while fulfilling the following requirements:
