Co-op, Minors, Certificates and Engineering Concurrent Programs for Students
Co-operative Education Program (Science Co-op) in Microbiology and Immunology
Co-op Academic Advisor: Dr. D.B. Stoltz (dstoltz@dal.ca) and Dr. Craig McCormick (craig.mccormick@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 Microbiology and Immunology, or in Combined Honours or Double Major programs with Microbiology and Immunology 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. For more information on Co-op Education in Microbiology and Immunology, please see the Department webpage www.dal.ca/academics/programs/undergraduate/mbim/what_will_I_learn/coop_work_terms.html
Minors available to students in Microbiology and Immunology
Minor programs allow students to develop subject specialties in addition to their Major or Honours subjects. Minors in other subjects are normally embedded within 120 credit hour programs (including Science Co-op).
Students in a BSc (120 credit hour) program in Microbiology and Immunology 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 Microbiology and Immunology, 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 the beginning of the Faculty of Science section. 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 Microbiology and Immunology Major or Honours program include:
