| The Human Biology Programs are available to students entering their
second year of study. They present a choice of three Specialist programs
leading to an Honours B.Sc. degree. The goal of each program is to provide
a multi-disciplinary education focused on an area of biological science
relevant to humans. Each program emphasizes courses from the life sciences,
but includes social sciences and humanities. The Specialist programs
are: Genes, Genetics and Biotechnology; Health and Disease; and Human
Behavioural Biology. Each program will allow students to study an area
in depth while maintaining flexibility of course selection.
Humans are first and foremost animals, living organisms. As such, they
share fundamental characteristics with all life - structure, chemistry,
control mechanisms, behaviour, an ecological context, and an evolutionary
history. Thus the study of human biology must entail a sound knowledge
of basic life science. But humans have also developed unique characteristics,
emergent properties, arising from their highly complex brains - their
intricate behaviour, communication and conceptual abilities, and social
structures. So a fuller appreciation of their biology also needs an
understanding drawn from disciplines such as psychology, anthropology,
and sociology.
The Human Biology Programs are designed to do this. Students will
receive a solid foundation in life science courses together with insights
from the humanities and social sciences. The programs are intended to
provide a broad education rather than an intensive focus in a specific
discipline.
Graduates will be equipped to pursue further study in areas such as
health sciences, biotechnology, law, education, and administration,
and will have a broad range of skills to take with them into the job
market (check our web site at http://www.hmb.utoronto.ca for more career
paths).
The first year for both Genes, Genetics and Biotechnology and the Health
and Disease programs consists of 100-level courses in Biology, Chemistry
and either Calculus or Physics, plus an introductory course in one of
Anthropology, Psychology, or Sociology. (You are strongly recommended
to take both calculus and physics in either first or second year. Both
are important for higher-level life science courses and other life science
programs.) The first year for Human Behavioural Biology is similar in
requiring biology and chemistry, but you will need introductory courses
in calculus and psychology for this program.
In both the Genes, Genetics and Biotechnology and the Health and Disease
programs, the choice of anthropology, psychology or sociology courses
in the first year should be influenced by which of these areas you want
to pick courses from in the upper years.
Each of the three programs has core half-courses in second and third
years tailored to meet the specific needs of its students. These courses
concentrate on an area important to the program theme, and/or emphasize
the interdisciplinary nature of the program theme by showing connections
between its different subject areas. Each program requires a laboratory
half course at the 300 level; you may take either the appropriate HMB
lab course, or one of the others listed. To complete the program, you
will be able to choose from a range of options in third and fourth years,
depending on your interests and which courses you have already taken,
as well as availability. Options include 400-level advanced seminar
courses and advanced research "project" courses.
The Human Biology Programs also include a Life Science Major, which
provides a foundation of study in the life sciences. This program builds
on a background in biology, chemistry and a choice of psychology, physics
or mathematics. The upper years provide exposure to several disciplines
within the life sciences. Students acquire a broad knowledge base which
is valuable not only for those intending to pursue a career in science,
but also for those with career interests in other areas such as business
or education. For further information about the programs, see http://www.hmb.utoronto.ca
