2012-2013 Undergraduate Calendar

The main focus of the Biomedical Sciences program is on the molecular basis of human health. It draws on the expertise of faculty of Community Health Sciences in the medical aspects of human health and of faculty in Biological Sciences in the theory, methods, and applications of molecular biology. This program will prepare students for careers in biomedical research, teaching or professional programs in health sciences.

Program Notes

1.	To proceed to year 2, students must achieve a minimum grade of 60 percent in BIOL 1F90, CHSC 1F90 and have submitted a declaration to major form.
2.	Students taking BIOL 4F90, 4F91 and BIOL 4F92 require a minimum 75 major average. Students taking CHSC 4F90 require a minimum 80 percent major average.
3.	Students preparing for professional studies in health sciences should note that some programs require completion of a laboratory physics course (one credit from PHYS 1P91, 1P92, 1P93). An understanding of basic physics is also beneficial to students in specific BIOL courses.
4.	In 20 credit degree programs a maximum of eight credits may be numbered 1(alpha)00 to 1(alpha)99; at least three credits must be numbered 2(alpha)90 or above; at least three credits must be numbered 3(alpha)90 or above; and the remaining credits must be numbered 2(alpha)00 or above. In some circumstances, in order to meet university degree and program requirements, more than 20 credits may be taken.
