X. Degree Programs
Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.)
Microbiology (Co-op) (MICR:C)
Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology, College of Biological Science
Students in the Major in Microbiology program may take the Co-op option. Students do not begin their first work term until they have completed semester 3 and courses BIOL*1030, BIOL*1040 and MICR*2030. Students in the co-op program must also complete COOP*1100 in the second academic semester. At least 3 work terms (COOP*1000, COOP*2000, COOP*3000) are required in the co-op program, and the course requirements are the same as shown for the major program. Some courses must be taken during a different semester than usual, and Co-op students may require an additional semester to meet all the program requirements. Students should plan their programs in consultation with the faculty advisor.
