The general areas covered by courses given by the Microbiology Department are listed below (* indicates required courses):
Courses given by other Departments:
AREAS COVERED BY GENETICS LABS:
The techniques and skills learned by Co-operative Education students in their second, third and fourth year laboratories follow. Some of the courses are required for graduation, however, it should be noted that each student selects from a wide range of electives. The most common electives have been chosen to be represented here.
*** Second Year ***
