生物学荣誉课程旨在提供理学学士学位课程的本科水平的研究经验。该课程适用于具有深厚学术背景并打算继续攻读生物学或某些相关领域的研究生课程的学生，或打算从事以研究经验为资产的职业的学生。学生也可以通过注册生物学440来进行较不密集的研究项目。荣誉计划与BSc专业计划的不同之处在于具有研究和论文组成部分。课程总数是相同的，每学期五个课程，八个学期，但荣誉论文课程计为12个学分，因此荣誉学期的总学时为126，而BSc专业则为120小时。研究部分将在BSc计划内完成，通常需要等到毕业年份之前的一个夏天（四个月）。通
The Honours program in Biology is designed to provide research experience at the undergraduate level within the BSc program. It is available to students with a strong academic background who intend to continue studies at the postgraduate level in Biology or some related field, or to students who intend to pursue a career where research experience would be an asset. Students may also carry out a research project by registering for Biology 4400 (6 semester hours of credit).<br><br>The Honours program differs from the BSc Major program in having a research and thesis component. The total number of courses is the same, five courses per semester for eight semesters, but the honours thesis course counts as 12 credits, so the total semester hours of credit for the Honours is 126, compared to 120 hours for the BSc Major. The research component is to be completed within the BSc program and may require the equivalent of one summer of research (four months) preceding the graduating year during which Biology 4900 (Advanced Research and Thesis) will be taken.
