Undergraduate programs
We offer a variety of programs providing students with a broad foundation in biology:
- Honours (thesis or course)
- Majors
- Minors
All programs begin with a two-year foundation which includes:
- Biochemistry
- Molecular and cell biology
- Genetics
- Evolution
- Ecology
- Diversity
Honours and major students then specialize in the third and fourth years with eleven concentrations.
Our two honours programs prepare students for graduate work and it can be adapted to meet prerequisites for admission in professional schools.
The major provides a focus in Biology and is designed for students with a wide range of career objectives. The minor program provides students with the opportunity to explore biology while pursuing another major program.
Co-op program
We seek to provide opportunities for students and employers to develop relationships that enhance the learning experience for students and present employers with skilled and motivated employees looking to make a career connection.
Field courses
