Biology is the study of living organisms - from bacteria and cells to plants and animals. This program teaches concepts spanning from cellular structure and function, to the environment and bioinformatics. Our Biology degree program integrates studies in chemistry, computers and management. You'll gain experience through an optional paid co-op, industry-oriented research and by completing an independent thesis project. Options in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology, Biophysics or Environmental Biology give you more opportunities to customize your degree. You can also pursue an optional specialization in Management Sciences.
