Students pursuing a bachelor of science with a major in human biosciences will typically take the following courses in their first year:

1. You are required to complete six credit hours in CRW courses, including at least three credit hours in English. Students attending Grenfell Campus will normally complete English 1000/1001 in their first year. 
   
   
2. Selection of a chemistry course depends on your background and ability. You should refer to the chemistry course criteria chart prior to selecting your first-semester course. If you are not able to register for Chemistry 1050 in the fall semester, you can take Chemistry 1010 in the fall and Chemistry 1050 in the winter semester. In order to complete the biochemistry major within four years, review the following information about completing the first-year chemistry courses:
• You must be eligible for Chemistry 2400 in the fall semester of second year.
• It is strongly recommended that Chemistry 1051 be completed before beginning the second year of studies. It will be possible to take Chemistry 1051 in the spring semester. Students attending Grenfell Campus will normally complete Chemistry 1200/1001 in their first year.
• All human biosciences majors must pass Chemistry 1051 or 1001 with a grade of 60% as this is a prerequisite for Chemistry 2301 which must be completed in second year. 
  
  
3. Selection of a mathematics course depends on a student’s background and ability. You should refer to the math course criteria chart prior to selecting your first-semester course. Mathematics 1000 or 1006 is required for admission to the major.
