Complementary courses are chosen in consultation with the research director. The Graduate Advisory Committee may stipulate additional coursework depending on the background of the candidate. BIOC 450 (Protein Structure and Function) and BIOC 454 (Nucleic Acids) are additional requirements for those who have not previously completed equivalent courses in their prior training.

Courses required for a Ph.D transfer

In order to transfer directly from the M.Sc. to the Ph.D. program, students must complete and pass Seminars in Biochemistry (BIOC 696), 6 credits of complementary courses as well as the Research Seminar 1 (BIOC 701).
