Planning Your Degree

Below are a few sample programs to give you some idea of how to plan your degree. They do not replace the calendar or a degree checklist. Keep in mind that there are many course combinations that will fulfill degree requirements: you do not have to follow any of these specific sets of courses. For most of these programs, we have specified the Biology and other science courses you would take to fulfill degree requirements, but we have not specified the other courses. A science elective means any science course, a free elective means any course at any level. A free elective can be another Biology course, science course or non science course.

Sample Program: Honours Major BSc Biology

Sample Program: Honours Specialized BSc Biology

Sample Program 1: Honours Major BSc Biology, Biomedical Stream

Sample Program 2: Honours Major BSc Biology, Biomedical Stream

Sample Program 3: Honours Major BSc Biology, Biomedical Stream
