The interdepartmental Biology/Chemistry Program provides a comprehensive curriculum covering biochemistry and molecular biology. It combines core courses from Biology, Chemistry and Math with a selection of other courses in Biology and Chemistry and electives in any discipline. Two levels are offered; the Major (131 ch) and Honours (149 ch). Students are encouraged to enter the Honours program and to switch to the Major program if circumstances warrant. Students will normally enter the Biology/Chemistry program after completing the Year I science curriculum (38 ch). Students must consult with the Biology/Chemistry advisor in Biology or Chemistry to enter the program and obtain an approved program of study.

In addition to the basic program information, we will post any changes to the Bio-Chem program, current news, announcements, and job/ scholarship opportunities that may be of interest to those in the Bio-Chem program.

How to Declare your Major:

To declare that you wish to major in the Biology-Chemistry Program you should download the Major Declaration form, print it off, fill it out in duplicate and hand it to your advisor.
