HONORS SPECIALIZATION IN EPIDEMIOLOGY AND BIOSTATISTICS
|
This module is intended primarily for students who wish to pursue graduate training in Epidemiology and Biostatistics and want to include applied human health research-intensive preparation in their undergraduate program. This module leads to a Bachelor of Medical Sciences (BMSc) degree. See BACHELOR OF MEDICAL SCIENCES (BMSc) PROGRAM for more information.
Admission Requirements for September 1, 2013
Completion of first-year requirements (5.0 courses) with no failures. Students must have an average of at least 75% on the following 3.0 principal courses, with no mark below 60% in any of these courses:
1.0 course: Biology 1001A* and Biology 1002B*, or the former Biology 1222 or 1223
1.0 course: Chemistry 1100A/B and 1200B, or the former Chemistry 1020, 1050, or 023
0.5 course from: Calculus 1000A/B, 1100A/B, 1500A/B
0.5 course: Mathematics 1600A/B, or the former Linear Algebra 1600A/B
* Biology 1201A with a mark of at least 70% may be used in place of Biology 1001A, and Biology 1202B with a mark of at least 70% may be used in place of Biology 1002B.
1.0 course in Physics must be completed by the end of Year 2 and a minimum mark of 60% must be achieved in each of two half courses, as follows:
0.5 course from: Physics 1028A/B, 1301A/B, 1501A/B
0.5 course from: Physics 1029A/B, 1302A/B, 1502A/B
Students will not be admitted to Year 2 of the Honors Specialization module beginning in September, 2014.
Admission Requirements, effective September 1, 2015 (for students admitted to Year 1 in September, 2013)
Admission to this Honors Specialization module occurs in Year 3 and requires admission to Year 3 of the Bachelor of Medical Sciences (BMSc) Program. Students will usually complete the MEDICAL SCIENCES FIRST ENTRY PROGRAM (Medical Sciences 1 and 2) prior to admission to the Honors Specialization module. Enrolment in this Honors Specialization module is limited and meeting the minimum requirements does not guarantee admission.
The 1000-level half courses listed below must each be completed with a mark of at least 60%:
1.0 course: Biology 1001A* and Biology 1002B*
1.0 course: Chemistry 1301A/B and 1302A/B, or the former Chemistry 1100A/B and 1200B
0.5 course from: Calculus 1000A/B, 1100A/B, 1500A/B
0.5 course: Mathematics 1600A/B
0.5 course from: Physics 1028A/B, 1301A/B or 1501A/B
0.5 course from: Physics 1029A/B, 1302A/B or 1502A/B
* Biology 1201A with a mark of at least 70% may be used in place of Biology 1001A, and Biology 1202B with a mark of at least 70% may be used in place of Biology 1002B.
The 2000-level courses below must be completed with a minimum mark of 60% in each (unless otherwise indicated) prior to admission to the Honors Specialization module in Year 3. These 2000- level courses will also be used towards the Module requirements. See ADMISSION TO THE BACHELOR OF MEDICAL SCIENCES (BMSc) PROGRAM for additional average, course load requirements, etc. and MODULES OFFERED IN THE BMSc PROGRAM for specific information about Honors Specialization modules, including the Weighted Average Chart.

Social Science Subject List:
Students must complete 1.0 senior course from one of the subject areas below (e.g. 1.0 course in Economics) and it is recommended that this 1.0 course be selected from the number range specified for the subject area. Note that (i) two half courses from two different subject areas will not satisfy this requirement, and (ii) some courses may require a prerequisite.
