Basic Medical Sciences Disciplines: Anatomy and Cell Biology, Biochemistry, Epidemiology and Biostatistics, Medical Biophysics, Microbiology and Immunology, Pathology, Physiology, and Pharmacology.
Courses in History of Science are not included.
Notes:
1. If students take
Statistical Sciences 2035 or
Psychology 2810 instead of
Biology 2244A/B or the former Statistical Sciences 2122A/B, the module becomes 10.5 courses.
2. Many 4000-level Biology courses require the completion of 1.5 Biology courses at the 3000-level or above.
3. Students with specific Biology interests should visit the departmental
website for course recommendations in various disciplines or contact a Biology Academic Counselor.
