本科课程强调平衡教育所需的生物学核心方面
Biology is the study of plants, animals and the diversity of life in an evolutionary context. As a Biology student you will gain insight into how organisms interact, how genes are inherited, how creatures evolve and much more. Our programs are practical and hands-on with research and fieldwork opportunities in almost every course to enhance in-class learning. You will be exposed to the central aspects of Biology including: Form and Function, Cell and Molecular Biology, Genetics, Evolution, Biodiversity, Systematics, Ecology and Environmental Biology. You have the freedom to study Biology in a way that suits your career aspirations. You may choose courses that will prepare you to become a professional biologist, or you can combine your biological studies with a major in Chemistry, Geography, Environmental Studies or Outdoor Recreation, Parks & Tourism.The small size of our department allows you to become involved with ongoing faculty research, ranging from ecology to biorefining. Exciting professional opportunities exist for you post-graduation with further study in medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, veterinary medicine or graduate school.Biology internships and research assistant positions are provided to students, either in the summer or during the academic year, as they become available. Pairing work experience with hands-on labs and in-class lecture is invaluable.
