Some BIO courses listed above will be offered in the summer check course offerings. Some of these BIO courses could be completed in year four, however you must ensure you have the prerequisites for the advanced forth year courses that you will need to take in fourth year.
- Year 4:
- 1 full course equivalent of advanced (forth year) courses see list of D-level courses that are acceptable in the calendar
- IMCC01 (Microbiology Project II) - see table below for alternate availability in the summer of the third year of courses
- IMCC02 (Microbiology Genetics)
- ICMCC03 (Biochemistry and Applications II)
- IMCC04 (Environmental Microbiology)
- 2 full credit courses: program options or electives for UTSC courses to fulfill 20 full course equivalents**
- * A grade of at least 60% is required in the Centennial courses marked with an asterisk to maintain standing in the program.
- ** Students must complete the appropriate pre-requisites for courses chosen to fulfill electives.
- *** Given the courses required for this program students are advised to plan their course sequence in detail once admitted to the program in consultation with the program supervisor.
