This is achieved through teaching within the department that emphasises the questions of contemporary biology, and how they are asked. Our graduates understand that the sub-disciplines of 21st century biology are interrelated, ask questions at a range of spatial and temporal scales, with a broad taxonomic scope, and that these dynamic disciplines have a strong quantitative foundation.Our aim is to provide students with a foundation upon which they can build in future professional or postgraduate training, and as scientifically literate citizens of our society.Programs in BiologyThe Department of Biology offers the following programs: Honours (by Thesis or by Course), Major and Minor.Either of the Honours programs provides students with the preparation required for graduate work in Biology, while pre-professional students will usually find that they can adapt the Honours by Course Program to meet the prerequisites for admission to professional schools.*The Major program is designed to provide concentration in Biology while maximizing a student's access to the offerings of other Departments and Faculties. It will therefore be of use to students with interdisciplinary educational and career objectives. With care, pre-professional students should be able to use this to satisfy prerequisites to many professional schools.*The Minor program is structured to meet the individual needs of the student and will complement his/her major program.Admission to these programs is by application to the Chair of Biology or Director of Undergraduate Studies. Minimum cumulative grade point average (CGPA) requirements and prerequisites may be required for admission.An advisor, assigned to each successful applicant, must approve course selections according to the guidelines given below.Students are reminded that courses offered by other Departments form an important complementary part of the overall program of studies. A minimum of 12 ch of electives selected from the course offerings of the Faculty of Arts are required in the Honours and Major programs.Note:* In addition to their Biology advisor, pre-professional students must consult the Assistant Dean of Science for information about prerequisites and advice on program planning.Program RequirementsMajor Program (132 ch total):Level I BIOL HYPERLINK "" \t "CourseWindow" 1001 , HYPERLINK "" \t "CourseWindow" 1006 , HYPERLINK "" \t "CourseWindow" 1012 , HYPERLINK "" \t "CourseWindow" 1017 ; CHEM HYPERLINK "" \t "CourseWindow" 1001 , HYPERLINK "" \t "CourseWindow" 1006 , HYPERLINK "" \t "CourseWindow" 1012 , HYPERLINK "" \t "CourseWindow" 1017 ; MATH HYPERLINK "" \t "CourseWindow" 1003 or HYPERLINK "" \t "CourseWindow" 1053 and one of MATH HYPERLINK "" \t "CourseWindow" 1013 , HYPERLINK "" \t "CourseWindow" 1063 or STAT HYPERLINK "" \t "CourseWindow" 2264 . 2 more term courses of first year science lectures (Physics or Earth Sciences).

Students in all Biology programs will not be allowed to take any third or fourth level Biology courses, until they have passed (C minimum) all first level requirements for Biology programs. If HYPERLINK "" \t "CourseWindow" STAT 2264 is counted as a first year requirement, then an extra 3 ch of Level III/IV courses must be taken. Students are urged to register early (by the end of classes, Winter term) for courses they plan to take in the next academic year that are required for their program and that have limited enrollmentHonours Program (150 ch total):There are two honours programs: Honours by Course and Honours by Thesis. Students must have (and maintain) a minimum CGPA of 3.0 to be accepted in and remain in either program. Application to the Honours by Thesis program is initiated by writing a letter of intent to the Chair of Biology before preregistration at the end of year 3. Students must make arrangements to complete their dissertation research with a Faculty member in the Department of Biology before applying to the Program. BIOL HYPERLINK "" \t "CourseWindow" 4090 (Honours Thesis Project) is required and the course description should be consulted for further information and specific procedures.

Students are urged to register early (by the end of classes, Winter term) for courses they plan to take in the next academic year that are required for their program and that have limited enrollment. The Honours student (by course or by thesis) must achieve a minimum final CGPA of 3.7 to obtain First Class Honours standing upon graduation. A student completing all course requirements for Honours but with a CGPA below 3.0 will be given a Majors degree.Minor Program: The Minor in Biology is designed for students in other Departments of the Faculty of Science, and outside the Science Faculty, who are interested in a coherent package of Biology courses. The Minor follows section V in the “University Wide Academic Regulations” of the Undergraduate Academic Calendar and consists of BIOL courses, totalling at least 24 credit hours with a grade of C or better, approved by the Biology Director of Undergraduate Studies. The Year II Core Modules and the Concentrations can be used as guidelines. Students requiring BIOL 1001, BIOL 1006, BIOL 1012 and BIOL 1017 for their Major are not eligible to also count these courses towards a Biology Minor. Students not requiring Biology courses for their Major must take, and can count, HYPERLINK "" \t "CourseWindow" BIOL 1001 , HYPERLINK "" \t "CourseWindow" BIOL 1006 , HYPERLINK "" \t "CourseWindow" BIOL 1012 and HYPERLINK "" \t "CourseWindow" BIOL 1017 as part of their Biology Minor. Human Anatomy, Human Physiology, and Pathophysiology courses do not count toward a Biology Minor.*Notes: Some upper level courses (3000 and 4000 level) have limited enrollment. Students should register in the Winter term for these courses, since assignments will be made in May following pre-registration. Priority for admission is as follows: Year IV Honours, Year IV Majors, Year III Honours, Year III Majors. Within each category, students will be selected based on CGPA (and at the discretion of the instructor). If space permits, students in a Minor program may also enroll in these courses Some Biology courses are designed for non-Science students. Students enrolled in Biology programs may take these courses, but they can only be considered as electives for the purposes of the Biology programs. Permission of the instructor may be required. Such courses include: BIOL 1846 , HYPERLINK "" \t "CourseWindow" BIOL 2251 , and the Human Anatomy, Human Physiology, and Pathophysiology courses. For courses offered see “Description of Courses, Biology”. Co-operative Work Experience in BiologyThe Faculty of Science seeks to provide opportunities for students and employers to develop relationships that enhance the learning experience for students and present employers with skilled, motivated employees looking to make a career connection. To achieve this, the Faculty, through the Department of Biology and other Science departments and programs, operates a Co-operative Education Program. Co-op opportunities are available for qualified students; please refer to the Science section of this calendar for detailed information.ConcentrationsUpper level Honours and Major students in Biology can choose from many Biology courses (see requirements for Levels III and IV, above).
