*Students planning to pursue the Biological Sciences, Plant Biology and Zoology programs require both Biology 313 and Biochemistry 393. Students pursuing the Biochemistry and Cellular, Molecular and Microbial Biology programs require Biochemistry 393. Students pursuing the Ecology program require Biology 313. Students in any program may take both courses should they desire. Consult specific program requirements for details.

**Check details of other programs in the Department of Biological Sciences to see where Chemistry 353 is a requirement.

***These 12 units (2.0 full-course equivalents) form part of the 18 units (3.0 full-course equivalents) options from outside the Faculty of Science. Of these 18 units (3.0 full-course equivalents) students must select at least 6 units (1.0 full-course equivalent) from the Faculty of Arts. (see 3.4.B.(d) Breadth requirement in Section 3 Faculty Regulations).

• Biology 241, 243, 311, 331 and 371 and at least one of Biology 313 or Biochemistry 393 should be taken in the sequence described below if students wish to pursue any of the degree programs offered by the Department of Biological Sciences.
• Students who have completed Mathematics 31 can take Mathematics 265 unless they are interested in pursuing programs in Physics and Astronomy or Mathematics and Statistics. Students interested in those programs are encouraged to take Mathematics 275.
• Students planning a Biochemistry major must take Physics 211 or 221, and 223.
• Students planning a Zoology major must take either the Physics option (Physics 211 or 221, and 223) or the Geology option (Geology 201 and 202).
• Students planning an Ecology or Zoology major are advised to take a course in linear methods (i.e., Mathematics 211 or 213).
• Prior to registering in the second year, students should consider which program they wish to pursue in the third and subsequent years so that an appropriate choice of major access courses may be made (see Second Year in the Program Sequence Table below).
• Chemistry 355 is an acceptable substitute for Chemistry 353; it is recommended that students planning Biochemistry Honours complete Chemistry 355.

*Check details of programs in the Department of Biological Sciences to see where this is allowed.

**Students wishing to take Chemistry 213 must take either Chemistry 201 or 211 as the prerequisite. Chemistry 201 and 203 are offered both in Fall and Winter Terms and students may complete them in any order.
