Biology explores the diversity and complexity of life. It touches many parts of daily existence: how we interact with nature, what we eat, and how our bodies function. In today's world, lacking biological understanding puts you at a disadvantage, as biological discoveries drive societal progress. At Langara, biology courses cover all dimensions of life - from cellular components to complete ecological systems.

Recent decades have seen explosive growth in biological knowledge and career prospects for graduates. Depending on your specialization, opportunities span research, teaching, science communication, healthcare, environmental protection, forensic science, and beyond.
