Co-op, Minors, Certificates and Engineering Concurrent Programs for Students
Co-operative Education Program in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology
Co-op Academic Advisor: Dr. H-S. Ro, Email: Hyo-Sung.Ro@dal.ca
The Science Co-op degree option enables students to apply their academic knowledge directly while providing them with work experience that assists in making educated career choices. Science Co-op is available to students in BSc (120 credit hour) Honours or Major programs in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, or in Combined Honours or Double Major programs with Biochemistry and Molecular Biology as the primary subject. Further information details on Science Co-op can be found in the academic calendar under Work-Integrated Learning & Co-operative Education and the Co-op office’s website at dal.ca/wil.
Minors available to students in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology
Minor programs allow students to develop subject specialties in addition to their major or honours subjects. Minors in other subjects are normally added to 120 credit hour programs (including Co-op).
Students in a BSc (120 credit hour) program in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology may choose to include a Minor selected from the list of approved Minors. Courses counted toward a Major or Honours subject cannot be used to fulfill the requirements of a Minor program.
Certificates
In combination with a BSc in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, students may obtain one or more Certificates. A Certificate indicates that a student has achieved a certain level of proficiency in a given area or subspecialty. Courses counted toward a Major, Honours or Minor subject may also be used to fulfill the requirements of a Certificate. Students must apply to the Certificate Coordinator to be considered for a Certificate. Certificates are awarded upon graduation and are noted on the student’s academic transcript.
A complete list of Faculty of Science Certificates and requirements can be found at Faculty of Science - Certificates. Students may also work toward obtaining Certificates offered by other Faculties; some of these are listed in the College of Arts and Science Degree Requirements section.
Certificates of particular interest to students enrolled in a Major or Honours program in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology include:
