FOUR-YEAR BSc HONORS ECOLOGY AND EVOLUTION


Admission Requirements

Completion of the requirements for the Three-year BSc in Biology with the general prerequisites for entrance into honors programs in the Biological Sciences. It is recommended that some of the program's requirements listed below, including Biology 284a and 366b, be taken prior to Fourth Year.


Note:

It is very important for potential Ecology and Evolution honors students to consult the program's advisors in choosing the appropriate courses during their second and third years. All fourth year programs must be approved by an Ecology and Evolution program advisor in the Department of Biology.


Fourth Year

    All fourth year course selections must be approved by the co-ordinator of the Ecology and Evolution program. The fourth year program consists of 5.0 principal courses, at least 2.0 of which must be at the 400-level.

    1. Evolutionary Biology.

    Biology 366b, and EITHER Biology 304F/G OR Biology 441F (formerly Zoology 441a).

    2. The Diversity of Life.
