理学学士学位，主修生物学和副修学士课程强调一种“动手”的综合学习方法。较小的班级规模允许一对一的互动，从而促进学生与导师之间的关系发展。多功能性是生物学计划的关键功能。专业设有传统的核心课程，所有学生都必须参加，而学生也可以选择适合自己兴趣的课程。例如，在有机生物学，生态学，分子/细胞生物学和微生物学/病毒学方面的强大专业知识使学生能够强调这些方向之一。学生还可以从其他部门（例如渔业，林业，地理，人类学）中选择选修课程，以满足他们的学位要求。在最后一年中，学生可以视情况选择在生物学教员的指导下完成一个全面
With VIU's Bachelor of Science in Biology you can immerse yourself in exploration of the living world and gain the skills you need for a rewarding career in life sciences and related fields. Whether you're looking for a pre-med or pre-veterinary degree or you want to pursue marine biology or another discipline, a VIU Biology degree has a lot to offer you. VIU's BSc in Biology focuses on hands-on learning through small class and lab sizes. This approach helps you to build strong technical and analytical skills, which are essential for your future success. As VIU Biology undergraduate student, you can take part in cutting edge research that other schools offer only to graduate students. You can contribute to scientific inquiries and potentially be part of groundbreaking discoveries. You get the opportunity to make a positive impact by addressing pressing global challenges, such as disease prevention, environmental conservation and food security. You can take part in research led by expert faculty, and you can get funding for independent research. We help you apply for undergraduate student research awards from national programs such as the Natural Sciences and Engineering Council of Canada (NSERC). And you can apply for internal VIU funding opportunities. The Bachelor of Science, Biology Honours emphasizes a "hands-on," integrative approach to learning. Smaller class sizes allow one-on-one interaction, fostering development of the student-mentor relationship. In addition, students in the Biology Honours program complete a comprehensive undergraduate research project, under the supervision of a Biology faculty member. Students expand their research skills through deep engagement in their chosen project.
