COURSE CURRICULUM

The Biological Sciences (BSc) program offers a wide range of courses that allow students to explore the full spectrum of life sciences, from cellular biology to ecosystem dynamics. Foundational courses like BIOL 1410: Anatomy of the Human Body introduce students to the structural complexities of living organisms, while BIOL 2500: Genetics 1 provides an essential understanding of heredity and molecular inheritance. Courses such as BIOL 2260: Biology of Fungi and Lichens delve into unique and ecologically significant groups of organisms, offering insights into biodiversity and symbiotic relationships. BIOL 2600: Computational Biology introduces students to modern data analysis techniques used to study biological systems, reflecting the growing importance of bioinformatics in science. In BIOL 3312: Community Ecology, students examine interactions among species and how environmental factors shape ecosystems. BIOL 3360: Animal Behaviour explores the biological basis of how animals interact with each other and their environments. More advanced topics like BIOL 4300: Evolution and Adaptation and BIOL 4480: Comparative Endocrinology deepen students’ understanding of physiological systems and evolutionary processes. Together, these diverse course offerings prepare students for a variety of careers in research, healthcare, conservation, and biotechnology, or for further studies in graduate or professional programs.
