Courses constituting the field of Zoology

1Students may apply a maximum of 9 units from independent project courses numbered 507, 528 and 530 towards their major field; of these 9 units, students are permitted a maximum of 6 units of independent project courses labelled as 507 offered by the Department of Biological Sciences.

2Applicability 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.

3No more than 6 units of such courses (approved by the Department prior to registering in the course) can be counted towards the major field.

4No more than 3 units from this group of courses may be counted towards the major field.
