What is the difference between the Cell and Molecular Stream in Biological Sciences and the Molecular Biology and Biochemistry Department (MBB)?
A. Although some requirements for both programs in the first two years are similar, the upper division requirements are not the same. The Cell and Molecular Stream allows students to focus on the study of cell and molecular biology while having a broad training in all aspects of contemporary biology, from cells through organisms to their ecology. The MBB program focuses on the sub-cellular and nuclear level as well as in biochemistry, without the broad context available to students in Biological Sciences.
