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, 565, 567; Medical Science 612, 613
