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

BUS 360W - Business Communication (4) †

Helps students develop professional writing- and speaking-based communication strategies they can confidently adapt to a wide range of business situations. The course aims to raise their communication performance to a professionally acceptable level, rather than to memorize or theorize about communication knowledge: this is a β€œlearn-by-doing” course. Students will improve their ability to conceptualize, analyze/evaluate, synthesize, and apply information to guide their thinking and finished products across various business contexts. As teamwork is a fundamental skill valued by employers, students will participate in a major team project to learn about and apply best practices for collaboration with respect to professional business communication. The primary means of instruction and learning is guided practice in both writing and presenting in response to realistic business contexts. Instruction and assessment focus on both the process of creating professional, finished products, as well as the quality of those products.
