Biological Sciences Major/Honours

The Major in Biological Sciences combines core courses in the biological sciences with specialized courses in one of the three concentrations below.  Within the core program you will take courses in genetics, developmental biology, physiology, ecology, and evolution.

The Honours program follows the same structure as the Major, but requires additional coursework. It is intended for academically strong students who wish to combine in-depth study with research-based courses in Biological Sciences.

A degree in Biological Sciences provides excellent preparation for further study in medicine, dentistry and other healthcare-related professions.  Visit our Pre-Professional programs page for details.
