See the Faculty of Science subsections on Enrolment Limitations in Section 3 Faculty Regulations and Program Details in Section 4.

Required Courses

18 units - Biology 241, 243, 311, 331, 371 and at least one1 of Biology 313 and Biochemistry 393

6 units - Chemistry 201 or 211, and 203 or 213

6 units - One of Mathematics 249 or 265 or 275 and one of Mathematics 211 or 213 or 267 or 277 (see Recommendations below)

6 units - Computer Science 217 or Data Science 211 and Computer Science 219; or Computer Science 231 and 233; or Computer Science 235 and a senior Computer Science option

or

Geology 201 and one of 202 or 203

or

Physics 211 or 221, and 223 (see Recommendations below)

6 units - Major options and/or options combination (see Second Year in the Program Sequence Table below)

3 units - Chemistry 351

3 units - Chemistry 353 or option2

12 units - Breadth Requirement: Options from outside the Faculty of Science3

1Students planning to pursue the Biological Sciences, Plant Biology and Zoology programs require both Biology 313 and Biochemistry 393. Students pursuing the Biochemistry and Cellular, Molecular and Microbial Biology programs require Biochemistry 393. Students pursuing the Ecology program require Biology 313. Students in any program may take both courses should they desire. Consult specific program requirements for details.

2Check details of other programs in the Department of Biological Sciences to see where Chemistry 353 is a requirement.

3These 12 units form part of the 18 units options from outside the Faculty of Science (check Table I in 3.4 Program Requirements for ineligible courses). Of these 18 units, at least 6 units must be from the Faculty of Arts. Science 311 may be counted among the 18 units from other faculties.

Recommendations
  • Biology 241, 243, 311, 331 and 371 and at least one of Biology 313 or Biochemistry 393 should be taken in the sequence described below if students wish to pursue any of the degree programs offered by the Department of Biological Sciences.
  • Students who have completed Mathematics 31 should take Mathematics 265.
  • Students planning a Biochemistry major must take Physics 211 or 221, and 223.
  • Students planning a Zoology major must take either the Physics option (Physics 211 or 221, and 223) or the Geology option (Geology 201 and 202).
  • Students planning an Ecology or Zoology major are advised to take a course in linear methods (i.e., Mathematics 211 or 213).
  • Prior to registering in the second year, students should consider which program they wish to pursue in the third and subsequent years so that an appropriate choice of major access courses may be made (see Second Year in the Program Sequence Table below).
