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*1070, BIOL*1080, BIOL*1090 and MICR*2430. 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 generally require an additional semester to meet
all the program requirements. Students should plan their programs in consultation with the faculty advisor. A total of 20.00
credits are required to complete the major. A minimum of 6.00 science credits must be at the 3000/4000 level of which at least
2.00 credits must be at the 4000 level (including the 1.00 from the restricted elective credits).
