Courses constituting the field of Zoology

*Applicability to the field depends upon the actual course content. Approval will have to be granted on an individual basis. Check the list published by the Department each February.

**No more than one FCE of such courses (approved by the Department prior to registering in the course) can be counted towards the Major Field.

***Applicability to the field depends upon the actual course content. Approval will be granted on an individual basis.

Required Courses - Major Program

See also 3.4 Program Requirements, in particular, the regulations on the number of courses at the 200 level and above allowed in a program and on the List of Science-Equivalent Courses in Other Faculties (Table I).
