FOUR-YEAR BSc HONORS PLANT BIOCHEMISTRY AND MOLECULAR BIOLOGY
This program provides students with a fundamental background in plant biochemistry and molecular biology and is designed for those interested in cutting-edge plant research and/or biotechnology. The program prerequisites combine the Biology Core with basic chemistry and biochemistry courses, as well as plant-specific courses.
Admission Requirements
Completion of the requirements for a 3-year BSc in Biology with the general prerequisites for entrance into Honors programs in the Biological Sciences. The following courses are required as part of the 3-year BSc in Biology, and must be completed by the end of the third year (see notes 1, 2 and 3):
NOTES:
- The Year I Mathematics requirement for the program is as follows: Mathematics 030, or Calculus 050a/b plus any one of the following: Calculus 051a/b, 081a/b, 091a/b, Linear Algebra 040a/b, Mathematics 028a/b, Statistical Sciences 024a/b.
- It is strongly recommended that Physics 020, 024, or 028a/b and 029a/b, or the former Physics 022 or 025 be included as part of the program of study.
- Biochemistry 280a (formerly Biology 280a), Chemistry 213a/b and 223b must be completed in the second year, in order to meet prerequisites for third year courses.
- Students must achieve an average of at least 70% in five senior Biology courses, including Biology 260a (formerly Biology 205a), 281b, 282b, Biology 360a/b (formerly Biology 305a), Biochemistry 280a (formerly Biology 280a).
Fourth Year
Principal Courses
Subsidiary Course
To complete the degree requirements, students must include at least 1.0 additional senior level full course or equivalent.
Note: Students are required to have their fourth year program and research projects for Biology 450F/G, 451F/G approved by the Plant Biochemistry and Molecular Biology program coordinator.
