Continuing in Honours Biology, Molecular Genetics Specialization requires a cumulative overall average of 60%, a cumulative Science average of 60%, and a cumulative Biology average of 60%. 

Successful completion of this program requires:

21.5 units distributed as follows:

• 8.5 BIOL units: BIOL 110, BIOL 120, BIOL 130, BIOL 130L, BIOL 150, BIOL 165, BIOL 239, BIOL 240, BIOL 240L, BIOL 241, BIOL 266, BIOL 273, BIOL 308, BIOL 309, BIOL 331, BIOL 335L, BIOL 359, and BIOL 365
• 4.0 BIOL units chosen with the following conditions:
  
  • 2.0 BIOL units must be chosen from: BIOL 341, BIOL 428, BIOL 431, BIOL 434, BIOL 442, BIOL 479, or BIOL 484
  • 2.0 BIOL units must be chosen from: BIOL 321, BIOL 342, BIOL 349, BIOL 361, BIOL 376, BIOL 441, BIOL 469, BIOL 472, BIOL 483, or BIOL 499A and BIOL 499B, of which at least 0.5 unit must be at the 400-level
  • A minimum of 2.5 units must be at the 400-level
• 3.0 CHEM units: CHEM 120, CHEM 120L, CHEM 123, CHEM 123L, CHEM 237, CHEM 237L, CHEM 266, and CHEM 266L
• 0.5 unit program elective chosen from: MATH 114, MATH 127, or PHYS 111
• 0.5 STAT unit: STAT 202
• 4.5 elective units
• 0.5 SCCOM unit: SCCOM 100

1. A maximum of 3.0 SCI units may be counted toward this program.
2. A maximum of 5.0 failed units is permitted.
3. A failed second attempt of a required course will result in removal from the program (see Faculty of Science policy on repeating courses).

Notes

1. Students are encouraged to take 1.0 unit from the Faculty of Arts, with 0.5 unit being from the Department of English Language and Literature.
2. BIOL 361 is a recommended elective.
3. Students should verify term of offering when choosing between MATH 114, MATH 127, and PHYS 111 as they plan their course sequence.
