  6. Majors in the B.Sc. (AES) A Major can be viewed as a “context” or “umbrella” for your chosen specialization(s). In other words, the Specialization is the “area” in which you are interested (e.g., animals, plants, soils, etc.) while the Major can be seen as the application of that area (e.g., production, biotechnology, international context, etc.). There are four majors in the B.Sc. (AES) under which our Specializations can be taken: The first two are the most likely to meet the needs of students interested in our Specializations, and are described in the next slides. • Major in Life Sciences • Major in Agro-Environmental Sciences • Major in Environmental Biology • Major in International Agriculture and Food Systems

  7. The Major in Life Sciences consists of the following 42 credits that complement at least one of the previous Specializations. Plus5 complementary courses from the following list: AEBI 451 Research Project 1 AEBI 491 Scientific Communication AEHM 330 Academic & Scientific Writing ANSC 234 Biochemistry 2 ANSC 250 Principles of Animal Science ANSC 251 Comparative Anatomy ANSC 326 Fundamentals of Population Genetics ANSC 324 Developmental Biology and Reproduction ANSC 333 Fundamentals of Nutrition ANSC 420 Animal Biotechnology BINF 301 An Introduction to Bioinformatics BTEC 306 Experiments in Biotechnology ENVB 222 St. Lawrence Ecosystems MICR 331 Microbial Ecology MIMM 324 Fundamentals of Virology NRSC 333 Pollution and Bioremediation PARA 438 Immunology PLNT 203 Economic Botany PLNT 304 Biology of Fungi PLNT 315 Herbs & Medicinal Plants PLNT 353 Plant Structure and Function PLNT 424 Cellular Regulation PLNT 426 Plant Ecophysiology WILD 375 Issues in Environmental Science WILD 424 Parasitology 9 required courses (27-credits): AEBI 210 Organisms 1 AEBI 211 Organisms 2 AEBI 212 Evolution and Phylogeny AEHM 205 Science Literacy AEMA 310 Statistical Methods 1 LSCI 202 Molecular Cell Biology LSCI 204 Genetics LSCI 211 Biochemistry 1 LSCI 230 Introductory Microbiology

  8. The Major in Agro-Environmental Sciences consists of the following 42 credits that complement at least one of the previous Specializations. 12 required courses (36-credits): AEBI 201 Organisms 1 AEHM 205 Science Literacy AEMA 310 Statistical Methods I AGEC 200 Microeconomics AGEC 231 Economic Systems of Agriculture AGRI 215 Agro-Ecosystems Field Course ANSC 250 Principles of Animal Science ENVB 210 The Biophysical Environment LSCI 204 Genetics LSCI 211 Biochemistry I LSCI 230 Introductory Microbiology SOIL 315 Soil Fertility and Fertilizers Plus 1 course from each of the following sets: PLNT 300 Cropping Systems or PLNT 302 Forage and Pastures and ANSC 451 Dairy & Beef Production Management or ANSC 458 Swine & Poultry Production

  9. Putting it all together! The following “demo” tries to give you an idea as to how you can select your overall program at McGill. Since Specialization names are still the most informative in terms of students’ actual interests, we suggest you think of the specialization name as your “program” and the area in which you want to study. Next, you should pick a Major that gives you the complementary background to use when you graduate (i.e., do you wish to go into research, work for a company, interact with clients at the ground level, work for international agencies, etc.). If there are two specialization areas that interest you, you can add a second. You should then pick your free elective courses in order to make up the total number of 90 credits (you can do this later on in your program as your interests develop and, maybe, change!) .
