Overview
The minor in Pathology provides an avenue for students majoring in related disciplines such as Biochemistry, Microbiology, Genetics, Anatomy and Physiology to gain formal recognition for this knowledge acquisition.
This minor subject provides a clear pathway for students to gain an understanding of the fundamental principles relating to the basis of human diseases. PATH 201 lays the foundation for two further papers offered at 300-level (in Advanced Pathology and Cancer Biology) which are designed to build on this knowledge and to further equip the student with both conceptual understanding and practical skills that will augment their major subject of choice.
