FACULTY OF SCIENCE
Completion of the requirements for a 3-year BSc in Biology with the appropriate grades and average for entry into honors programs and with the required prerequisites for at least four 400-level half-courses offered by the Department of Zoology. Students are encouraged to have taken some of the courses required for graduation from Honors Zoology (see below) before entering the program. All fourth year Zoology programs must be approved by a Department counsellor.
Students graduating from Honors Zoology are expected to have a broad understanding of the composition of the animal kingdom and to have had some training in each of the major areas of strength of the Department of Zoology. To meet this expectation, students graduating from Honors Zoology must have taken the three required half-courses in Group A (below) and at least one-half course from each of Groups B, C, and D (below).
A non-Zoology course cannot replace any of the required minimum of four 400-level Zoology courses.
The honors year continues the objectives of the 3-year degree; it provides a broadly based education in Animal Biology or more specialized training for a particular career. It is important for potential Honors Zoology students to get the help of the Department's advisors in choosing appropriate courses during their second and third years.
