Dive into hands-on laboratory and fieldwork as you explore every facet of living organisms and their biological processes. You'll build a strong base across all biological disciplines while mastering the practical techniques used by professional biologists. The Biology program allows you to specialize in various areas such as ecology, cellular and developmental biology, or physiology. This field examines all living organisms - from plants and animals to insects - and their interactions with ecosystems. At UBC's Okanagan campus, the Biology program provides extensive practical training through lab experiments and field studies, computer applications, and enhancement of both verbal and written communication abilities. Students pursuing an Honours degree can focus on deep specialization within a particular biological field.
