Department Objectives

The Biology Department is dedicated to teaching and research that advance understanding of life from molecules and cells to organisms, populations, and entire ecosystems. The Department’s programs inspire students with an appreciation of the rich diversity of the living world.

Students acquire a comprehensive grounding in modern biology through classroom study as well as extensive hands-on training in research methodology. A variety of specialized laboratories and equipment supports both research and teaching activities.

The Department is also participating in the Kaié:ri Nikawerá:ke Indigenous Bridging Program for BSc Biology students. This program offers alternative entry to eligible Indigenous students, specifically from First Nations, Métis and Inuit communities located in Canada, whose academic path is non-traditional. Students who successfully complete this bridging program will be able to transition to the program of their choice within the Department of Biology.
