The BCIT Honours in Biotechnology program gives students the best of two educational leaders: the University of British Columbia’s (UBC’s) theoretical and research expertise and BCIT’s hands-on laboratory training and high calibre foundational courses. We’ve partnered with UBC’s Department of Microbiology and Immunology to offer a unique and comprehensive learning experience.

| Additional Admission Requirements: | Applicants are required to have either: 1: 30.0 credits of first-year UBC courses or equivalent with a minimum 2.65 GPA: 8.0 credits of UBC Chemistry: CHEM 111 and CHEM 113 or
CHEM 121 and CHEM 123, 6.0 credits UBC Communications Requirement. Can include: ENGL 112 (recommended), SCIE 113 (recommended), 6.0 credits of UBC Biology. Two of: BIOL 112, BIOL 111, BIOL 121, 3.0 credits of UBC Differential Calculus. one of: MATH 100, MATH 102, MATH 104, MATH 110, MATH 120, MATH 180, MATH 184, 3.0 credit 100-level UBC Physics (PHYS) course, 3.0 credits of computational electives from among the following subjects: Computer Science (CPSC), Math (MATH), Statistics (STAT), 1.0 credit elective. PHYS 100 does not fulfill this requirement. Students require 3.0 credits of 100-level physics beyond PHYS 100. Students lacking Physics 12 must take PHYS 100 in first year. Another 3.0 credits of PHYS may be taken at any time during the specialization, but PHYS 100 must be taken during first year. MATH 120, 180 or 184 may be taken to fulfill the differential calculus requirement and will decrease the elective requirement by 1.0 credit. MATH 110 can also fulfill the differential calculus requirement and will decrease the elective requirement by 3.0 credits. STAT 200 is not acceptable as a computation elective because it is equivalent to a required course in BCIT's Honours in Biotechnology program;
OR 2. Transfer credit from another university that includes: two terms of first-year university courses (100 or 1000 level) in each of the following subjects: Biology, Chemistry (with lab), English, one term of first year university courses (100 or 1000 level) in each of the following subjects: Physics (energy and waves or electricity, light and radiation), Mathematics (differential calculus), and sufficient electives for an equivalent of 30.0 UBC credits, including: 3.0 credits of computational electives. |
