About Immunology Interdepartmental Honours
About Immunology Interdepartmental Honours
Three Departments offer the Honours Program in Immunology: Biochemistry, Microbiology and Immunology, and Physiology, combining elements of each. The program is a demanding one, which will prepare the student for graduate work in immunology.
This program is comprised of a core of 48 credits in basic science courses in cell and molecular biology, microbiology, biochemistry and physiology. An additional 27 complementary credits may be selected from a broad selection of science courses. The remaining 13 credits are free electives, enabling the student to explore related science disciplines. Finally, an undergraduate research project, seminar and thesis provides an opportunity to directly experience research work in a laboratory with a professor of immunology.
Students who do not maintain Honours standing must transfer their registration to a program in one of the three participating Departments.
Apply to Dr. C. Piccirillo, Microbiology and Immunology, Room L11.132-44, Montreal General Hospital, 1650 Cedar Avenue, Montreal, QC, H3G 1A4;ciro.piccirillo [at] mcgill.ca; 514-398-2872 or Dr. Monroe Cohen, Physiology, Room 1136, McIntyre Medical Sciences Building, 3655 Drummond Street, Montreal, QC, H3G 1Y6; monroe.cohen [at] mcgill.ca; 514-398-4342.
Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) - Honours Immunology (Interdepartmental) (75 credits)
Students must obtain a U1 GPA or a U2 CGPA of 3.30 for admission to this enrolment-limited program. U1 students should inform one of the program coordinators of their intent to enter the Honours Immunology (Interdepartmental) Program during their U1 Winter term and confirm their intention in writing by April 1. U2 or U3 students can apply for admission at any time.
For graduation in the Honours program, the student must complete a minimum of 90 credits, and achieve a CGPA of not less than 3.30. The immunology courses (BIOC 503, MIMM 314, MIMM 414, MIMM 509, PHGY 419D1/D2, PHGY 513, PHGY 531) must all be passed with a grade not less than B.
