Notes:
1. In addition to the normal progression requirements for Honors
Specializations, students must obtain a minimum mark of 70% in each of Biology 2581B, 2290F/G and 3596A/B and 1.0 of the 3000 level Biology courses listed above, in order to progress within the Honors Specialization in Genetics.

2. If students take Statistical Sciences 2035 or Psychology 2810 instead of Biology 2244A/B or Statistical Sciences 2122A/B, the module becomes 10.5 courses.

3. If students take Biology 4999E, the module becomes 10.5 courses.

4. If students take both Biology 4999E AND Statistical Sciences 2035 or
Psychology 2810, the module will be 11.0 courses.
