HMB: Fundamental Genetics and its Applications
The objective of the HMB: Fundamental Genetics and its Applications specialist and major programs are to provide students with a solid foundation in the biological sciences with a focus on genetics and its applications in medicine, environment and biotechnology.
This is an open enrolment program. A student who has completed 4.0 credits may enrol in the program.
Required Courses (8.0 credits, including a 0.5 credit at the 400-level)
To help students proceed through the program, it is recommended that first year life science requirements are completed before entering the program.
