Introduction
Overview
The M.Sc. in Molecular Biology and Biotechnology is a 30 credit hour that is offered both full- and part-time within the Department of Biology. Students are required to complete 24 credit hours of coursework in addition to 6 credit hours assigned to research and the completion of an M.Sc. thesis. The coursework includes 5 credit hours of College of Science requirements (Graduate Seminar, Ethics, Research Methods and Statistics), 10 credit hours of 4 core Molecular Biology and Biotechnology courses in addition to 9 credit hours of intercollege (College of Science and College of Medicine and Health Sciences) elective courses that allow the student to specialize in any specific topic related to Molecular Biology and/or Biotechnology. Students can take up to 6 credit hours of elective courses offered by the CMHS. Student progress is overseen by a research supervisor (and co-supervisors) and a thesis defence committee. The program is a fee-based program open for all students who meet the entry requirements.
