This program offers all the essential courses for students pursuing careers in medicine, pharmacy, dentistry, epidemiology, optometry, nursing, physiotherapy, veterinary medicine, graduate studies, and beyond. Choosing to study biology at Algoma University opens doors to one of science's most fascinating and unexplored fields. Researchers believe Earth hosts between five and 40 million species, yet only one to two million have been documented—leaving up to 38 million species awaiting discovery. If you're naturally curious, driven to innovate, or eager to solve complex mysteries about life and the human body, biology might be your ideal academic path.
Our university's setting is enriched by an extraordinary variety of ecosystems. Just beyond campus, you'll find expansive forests, meadows, rushing rivers, wetlands, and the shores of Lake Superior—one of the planet's largest freshwater lakes. The surrounding area teems with wildlife, from bears and cougars to lynx, moose, deer, foxes, weasels, and countless bird species. Few urban environments can match this ecological richness and biodiversity. While the scope of biology may seem overwhelming, our close-knit program community provides exceptional support to keep students inspired.
