Biology explores the science of living organisms and life's variety through an evolutionary lens. As a Biology major, you'll discover how species interact, genetic inheritance patterns, evolutionary processes, and beyond. Our curriculum emphasizes practical experience, offering research projects and field studies in nearly every class to complement theoretical knowledge. You'll explore key biological disciplines such as: Anatomy and Physiology, Cellular and Molecular Science, Heredity, Evolutionary Theory, Species Diversity, Classification Systems, Ecosystem Studies, and Conservation Biology. Tailor your Biology education to align with your professional goals by selecting specialized courses for a biology career or combining with Chemistry, Geography, Environmental Science, or Parks & Tourism studies.
Our intimate department size creates opportunities to participate in faculty-led research spanning ecological studies to biofuel development. Graduates pursue diverse career paths including advanced studies in medical, dental, pharmaceutical, veterinary, or graduate programs.
Students can access Biology internships and research assistant roles during summer breaks or academic terms as positions arise. Combining practical work experience with laboratory sessions and classroom instruction provides exceptional career preparation.
