| PROGRAM INFORMATION |
| Faculty: |
Faculty of Science |
| Degree: |
Doctorate
|
| Field of Study: |
Biology/Biological Sciences, General;
|
| Description: |
The typical graduate student in this program has a strong background knowledge in cell and molecular biology, biochemistry, organismal biology, ecology, developmental biology, and statistics, often with special strengths in the area of proposed study. Given the continuing trend toward interdisciplinary work, the program also accepts some students with a high scholastic standing who have completed a program in fields other than biology (medicine, engineering, chemistry, physics, etc.). Admission is based on an evaluation by the applicant’s potential supervisor, who is the faculty member who will provide supervision and financial support for the student’s research, and by the Biology Graduate Training Committee. Prospective graduate students are encouraged to contact faculty members with whom they wish to study before applying for admission. |

| Prerequisites: |
Prospective graduate students should have adequate background knowledge in cell and molecular biology (or biochemistry), organismal biology, ecology, developmental biology and statistics. Students with high scholastic standing who have completed a program in fields other than biology (medicine, engineering, chemistry, physics, etc.) may be excused from some of the courses normally required for a major in Biology.
Admission is based on an evaluation by the Graduate Training Committee and on acceptance by a research director (supervisor) who can provide adequate funding for personal and research expenses. Prospective graduate students need to contact staff members with whom they wish to study before applying for admission. Note: Students are admitted into the program on a full-time basis only.
