Molecular Biology and Biochemistry and Business Administration Joint Major

Bachelor of Science

The Department of Molecular Biology and Biochemistry and the Beedie School of Business co-operate to offer this bachelor of science (BSc) joint major program. This program offers in-depth combined training that is pertinent to development and administration in emergent biotechnology enterprises. Molecular biology and biochemistry form the scientific and technological underpinnings of today’s burgeoning biotechnology field while business teaches fundamentals of economics, management, marketing, investment and business law.

Ά‘ΟγΤ°AV Requirements

Students must meet the criteria specified by the Department of Molecular Biology and Biochemistry (see MBB Ά‘ΟγΤ°AV Requirements found on this page /students/calendar/programs/molecular-biology-and-biochemistry/major/bachelor-of-science.html) and the Beedie School of Business (see Ά‘ΟγΤ°AV Requirements).

ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS - BEEDIE SCHOOL OF BUSINESS

Joint major applicants should apply to Beedie through the internal transfer process, which is outlined here, after completing 30 units, (including MATH 150/151/154, and the lower division requirements for the business portion of the joint major, except BUS 217W and BUS 254) and must either already be accepted to molecular biology and biochemistry portion of the joint major or be eligible for admission that term.

Students not accepted upon initial application may reapply. Unsuccessful applicants are permitted to appeal.

Application Deadlines

Visit  for application deadlines.

Program Requirements

Students complete a minimum of 120 units, as specified below.

Grade Requirements

In addition to normal university grade point average requirements, the Beedie School of Business requires a minimum 2.30 overall Ά‘ΟγΤ°AV Business grade point average for entry into all 300 and 400 division business courses.

A minimum 2.30 overall Ά‘ΟγΤ°AV Business course grade point average is required for graduation from a business major, joint major, or double degree program.

For a course to be accepted as fulfilling a prerequisite, or for a lower division requirement, or for a core course to be accepted in a student’s program in business, a student must have obtained a minimum grade of C- (C minus).

Lower Division Requirements

Lower Division Molecular Biology and Biochemistry Requirements

Students complete all of

BISC 101 - General Biology (4)
