These are examples of typical course plans for the ACB programs. Detailed information and program options can be found on
our website: mcgill.ca/anatomy/undergraduate. It is strongly suggested that students meet with the program advisor at least
once a year to review their course selection and their progress in the program.

Advanced Anatomy Courses (AACs):

ANAT 314, ANAT 321, ANAT 322, ANAT 323, ANAT 365, ANAT 381, ANAT 416, ANAT 458, ANAT 514, ANAT 541,
ANAT 542, ANAT 565 & NEUR 310
Biologically Oriented Courses (BOCs):
Approved courses found in the eCalendar: mcgill.ca/study/faculties/science/undergraduate/ug_sci_anatomy_cell_biology
IMPORTANT PROGRAM NOTES:

* ACB Undergraduate Program Advisor: Penny Kaill-Vinish (undergradadvisor.acb@mcgill.ca)

* A minimum grade of C is required in ALL program courses.
* Students can only receive credit for one introductory statistics course (PSYC 204 or MATH 203 or BIOL 373).
* Students in the Major who complete research courses of 6 credits or more (including the ANAT 432 Honours Research Project) may
count 3 credits towards their BOC requirements and the remaining credits will count as electives. These courses require prior approval
from the ACB program advisor.
* Students in the Major and Honours must complete a minimum of 6 credits of Complementary Courses (from either the AAC or BOC
lists) at the 400-level or above.
* All 396 Research Project courses count as elective credits.
* Students who have completed the equivalent to CHEM 212, CHEM 222 or the stats requirement (i.e. at CEGEP or from other forms of
advanced standing prior to entering McGill) will receive a program exemption and these credits will be replaced by electives.
* The crosslisted program course ANAT/BIOC 212 is considered the equivalent to BIOL 201 and counts as the prerequisite for BIOL
202, BIOL 301 and other courses which require BIOL 201.
* Any course substitutions must be approved in advance by the ACB program advisor.
