Advisors: See Faculty of Science academic advisors.

Honours Science and Business, Biotechnology Specialization is available in both systems of study: regular and co-operative.

Continuing in Honours Science and Business, Biotechnology Specialization (regular and co-op) requires a minimum cumulative overall average of 65% and a minimum cumulative Science average of 65%.

Successful completion requires:

   • 2.75 CHEM units: CHEM 120, CHEM 120L, CHEM 123, CHEM 123L, CHEM 237, CHEM 266, CHEM 266L
   • 0.5 CHEM elective unit, 200-level or higher
   • 5.25 BIOL units: BIOL 130, BIOL 239, BIOL 240, BIOL 240L, BIOL 241, BIOL 308, BIOL 309, BIOL 331, BIOL 342, BIOL 432, BIOL 443
   • 2.0 BIOL elective units chosen from: BIOL 341, BIOL 345, BIOL 431, BIOL 433, BIOL 441, BIOL 442, BIOL 444, BIOL 483
   • 1.0 program elective unit chosen from: ACTSC 231, AFM 333/ARBUS 301, BET 300, ECON 211, ECON 311, ECON 361, ECON 372, HRM 200, HRM 301, INDEV 100, MSCI 311, MSCI 432, STAT 231, STAT 333
   • 1.0 BIOL or program elective unit
   • 1.5 AFM units: AFM 123/ARBUS 102, AFM 131/ARBUS 101, AFM 231/LS 283
   • 0.5 CS unit: CS 100
   • 2.0 ECON units: ECON 101, ECON 102, ECON 221, ECON 371
   • 0.5 MATH unit: MATH 127
   • 0.5 MGMT unit: MGMT 220
   • 3.0 SCBUS units: SCBUS 122, SCBUS 123, SCBUS 223, SCBUS 225, SCBUS 323, SCBUS 423
   • 0.5 unit: COMMST 193/ENGL 193
2. Co-operative program requirements (if applicable).

Additional conditions:

1. A minimum of 1.5 BIOL or CHEM elective units must be 400-level
2. A maximum of 2.0 failed units is permitted.

Notes

1. Alternative program electives may be substituted with permission from the academic advisor.
2. Students can choose to emphasize international business with AFM 333 and INDEV 100, entrepreneurism with BET 300 and MSCI 311, technical development with MSCI 311, or strategic operations with ECON 311 and MSCI 311.
3. SCBUS-labelled courses do not count as Science units and are not included in any Science average calculations.
