Courses constituting the field of Cellular, Molecular and Microbial Biology

*Applicability to the field depends upon the actual course content. Approval will have to be granted on an individual basis. Check the list published by the Department each February.

**No more than one FCE of such courses (approved by the Department prior to registering in the course) can be counted towards the Major Field.

Required Courses - Major Program

Recommendations

Students are advised to emphasize either a Molecular Microbiology or a Molecular Cell Biology route to be better equipped for further study and employment in those areas. This listing provides recommended options for students wishing to create a program of courses that explores their particular areas of interest and supports their career goals. It is not expected that students will be able to include all of the suggestions in one area in their programs; neither is the list exhaustive nor exclusive. Some courses may have prerequisites that are not included in the listing.

Molecular Cell Biology:

Biochemistry 547, 555; Botany 401; Cellular, Molecular and Microbial Biology 403, 413, 505, 511, 519, 523, 531, 561

Molecular Microbiology:

Biochemistry 561; Biology 435; Botany 401; Cellular, Molecular and Microbial Biology 421, 431, 443, 523, 543, 545, 549, 563; Medical Science 612, 613

  • Some recommended options are Biochemistry 401, 403, 471, 543, 547; Biology 315; Zoology 375, 377.
  • Courses in Marine Science may be taken for credit during the summer and/or students may elect to spend the fall of either the third or fourth year attending the Bamfield Fall Program. Refer to the Marine Science course listings for details.
