Acceptable Courses used by non U o Guelph

[UBC]

UBC - Applied Animal Biology Major, Land and Food Systems.

These are the courses I used for my application because the basic courses such as BIOL 201, BIOL 200, LFS 252 I took with only 4 courses per semester so they were not acceptable for my application to OVC. Make sure you take 5 courses per term and the proper year level of those courses. I was set back from applying for a year because I took too many lower level courses in my 3rd year, even though I took 5 courses per term. This required me to redo my cell bio, biochem and statistics.

Biological Sciences 1: BIOL 346 Microbes and Society
Biological Sciences 2: APBI 490 Aquaculture and the Environment

Cell Biology: BIOL 431 Evolutionary Cell Biology

Genetics: FRST 302 Forest Genetics

Statistics: EPSE 482 Introduction to Statistics for Research in Education

Biochemistry: BIOL 462 Ecological Plant Biochemistry

Humanities & Social Sciences 1: EPSE 406 Typical and Atypical Development in Infants and Children
Humanities & Social Sciences 2: APBI 314 Animals and Society

Anyone know a list of acceptable courses used at York University???

Contact the DVM Admission Counsellor at [e-mail] to ensure the courses you select at your university meet the prerequisite requirements for the DVM program.
Good luck in your studies!

[lowenger]

In general we do not have a list of acceptable courses for each Ontario university. Please read the instructions on how to get your courses approved (BEFORE you take them is best) at www.ovc.uoguelph.ca/recruitment/en/applyingtodvm/Academicrequirements.asp

Hello,

Does anyone know if MGY250 at uoft would count as a genetics course? I sent in a course evaluation but classes will have started by the time I hear back.

Thanks!
