THREE-YEAR BSc IN BIOCHEMISTRY AND CHEMISTRY

This program provides the student with a fundamental background in both Biochemistry and Chemistry. The program is designed for those students interested in the molecular aspects of biology and/or the biological aspects of chemistry. Students may qualify for the third year of the honors program if they have met the admissions standards of the honors program.

Students completing the 3-year BSc in Biochemistry and Chemistry may be admitted into the fourth year of the Honors Biochemistry program if admission requirements are met, but direct admission to the fourth year of the Honors Chemistry program is not possible.

Admission Requirements

A first year program that includes Chemistry 020 with a minimum mark of 60%, or Chemistry 023, with a minimum mark of 70%; Biology 022 or 023 with a minimum mark of 60%; Mathematics 030, with a minimum mark of 80%, or Calculus 050a/b plus one of Calculus 051a/b or 081a/b, or Applied Mathematics 026; Physics 020, 024 or 028a/b and 029a/b, or the former 022 or 025.

Second Year

Chemistry 271a, 273a, 274a, 281G, 283G, 284b, or the former Chemistry 251, 253, and 254

Biochemistry 280a plus one other 200-level Biology or Basic Medical Sciences half course (see Biology course list) (except Pathology 240a).
