So, you have decided to enroll in a HMB program! We are so excited that you are joining the ranks of our "Bioneers," and want to ensure you are equipped with the knowledge and context to make the most out of your HMB program.
Below, you will find each program outlined by year of study. Please note that this is a guide only.
This guide does not replace the Arts & Science Calendar, nor is it required to do the respective courses in the order listed below for each program. This guide is only to help you course map and plan your program pathway, and to help ensure you have all necessary pre-requisites for courses in later years.
Please note that this guide is based on the program requirements as listed in the 2019-2020 Calendar.
First Year- Fall Semester
