Electives
Elective Courses48.00
Total Units120.00

4. Additional Requirements

A. No more than 15.0 units chosen from LISC_List_A may be in PSYC or BIOL

B. No more than 9.0 units from LISC_List_A may be BMED approved option courses

5. Notes

A. Students wishing to take upper-year PSYC courses as options should take PSYC 100 Principles of Psychology as an elective.

B. Students wishing to take 300- and 400- level BIOL courses as options should review the prerequisites for these courses.  Some upper year BIOL courses require BIOL 205 Mendelian and Molecular Genetics as a prerequisite which is an option under 2.C.

C. Students who have not previously taken any other courses from outside the Faculty of Arts and Science are able to take up to 9.0 units of approved BMED Options towards their LISC-M-BSH degree.  Students will be allowed to enrol in LISC equivalents of BMED courses.

D. Students in the LISC Specialization Plan will be given priority for all 499 courses (ANAT 499 Research Project in Anatomy and Cell Biology, CANC 499 Research Project in Cancer Biology and Genetics, EPID 499 Research Project in Epidemiology, , MICR 499 Research Project in Microbiology and Immunology, NSCI 499 Research Project in Neuroscience, PATH 499 Research Project in Pathology, , PHAR 499 Research Project in Pharmacology and Toxicology, and REPD 499 Research Project in Reproduction and Development). Permission to take any of these courses must be approved by the Associate Dean (Life Sciences and Biochemistry).

Life Sciences Course Lists

The following lists contain courses offered through other Departments. In accordance with Academic Regulation 2.5 (Access to Classes), students do not have enrolment priority in all of these courses. Access to these courses may only be made available during the Open Enrolment period, and then only if space permits.
