Notes

1. GENET 270  is the prerequisite for GENET 304  and MICRB 316 , while BIOCH 320  and BIOCH 330  are prerequisites for BIOCH 430 .
2. At least 3 units must be in a course with a laboratory component.
3. Normally only 12 units are allowed outside the Faculties of Science and Arts in the entire program. See details of courses  for courses outside the Faculty of Science that will be considered as Science options
4. Credit in SCI 100 will be considered equivalent to BIOL 107 , BIOL 108 , CHEM 101 , CHEM 102 , CHEM 164, MATH 114  and 9 units in approved options.
5. Credit in SCI 151  will be considered equivalent to STAT 151  and 3 units in Science option.
