Course Requirements (2010/11)
Students who entered the Microbiology Honors or Specialization Program in the 2010-2011 Calendar year should follow the program presented below. If you have any questions about your program requirements, please see your advisor or Student Services, CW-312 BSB.
All students in Honors and Specialization programs in Biological Sciences take a common core of courses in their first year which includes Biology 107 and 108 (see Sidebar for description of the First Year Core, also see individual programs for requirements and recommendations) . In addition, all Honors and Specialization students take Biology 207 and 208 in Year 2.
This page contains a summary of information contained in the calendar. In case of discrepancy, the calendar is the final authority.
Notes:
- A minimum grade of B- is required in MICRB 265 and 311 to stay in Microbiology Honors program.
- BIOL 201 highly recommended in Year 2.
- Honors students are required to take BIOL 499 as well as, MICRB 343 and 345 and reduce the number of science and microbiology options each by *6.
- Credit in Science 100 will be considered equivalent to BIOL 107, 108, CHEM 101, 164, MATH 114, CMPUT 174, PHYS 144 and 146.
