Ne öğreneceğim?

Our Bachelor of Arts (BA) in Biology program is intended for those who want to have a role in communicating biology and biological concepts to others.

This program will prepare you for careers such as law, education/teaching, public policy or science journalism.

This is a flexible program that you can combine with other subject areas through minors, options or even as a dual major with another BA program.

We also offer a Bachelor of Science (BSc) in Biology, which provides a firm foundation not only in Biology, but also in Chemistry and Math. The BSc program is ideal for those looking to move on to graduate work in Biology or to professional postgraduate programs in environmental or health sciences.

RESEARCH AREAS OF FOCUS

In this program, you’ll study molecular processes and cell structures, signalling mechanisms, metabolic pathways, patterns of inheritance, physiological responses, life histories, biodiversity and conservation and strategies for survival across the three domains of life.

As a senior undergraduate student, you’ll have the opportunity to become part of ongoing research programs at the cutting edge of our discipline.

Some examples of recent student research include:

"Effects of water-borne pollutants on the health of fish"

"Mechanisms of biofilm formation by bacteria"

"Evolution of mating behaviour in fruit flies"

"Interactions of plants with soil microbial communities"

"Structure and function of proteins"

"Effects of climate change on northern ecosystems"

Program Highlights

  • It's easy to work with faculty mentors on a wide range of projects that will stimulate your curiosity and develop your creativity.
  • Augment your knowledge through teamwork and problem solving in our diverse lab-based courses or in field studies that emphasize the function of organisms in their environments.
  • Internal and external funding makes it easy for students to work with faculty mentors on a wide range of projects.
