The Honours program in Biochemistry combines the substantial background given by the Major program with a challenging opportunity to carry out laboratory research projects in the U3 year. These courses provide students with research experience under the supervision of a professor in the Department.
Admission to the Honours program will not be granted until U2. Students who wish to enter the Honours program in U2 should follow the U1 Major program. Those who satisfactorily complete the U1 Major program with a GPA of at least 3.20 and a mark of B- or better in every required course are eligible for admission to the Honours program.
Students seeking admission to the Honours program must obtain permission from the Student Affairs Officer by emailing christine [dot] laberge [at] mcgill [dot] ca (Christine Laberge) during the Add/Drop period in September of their second year.
Promotion to U3 year is based on satisfactory completion of U2 courses with a GPA of at least 3.20 and a B- in every required course. In borderline cases, the marks received in BIOC 311 and BIOC 312 will be of particular importance for continuation in the U3 Honours year.
For graduation in the Honours program, students must complete a minimum of 90 credits, pass all required courses with no grade less than B-, and achieve a CGPA of at least 3.20.
