Students planning a career or graduate studies in the biological sciences are encouraged to follow an Honours or Specialization program. The Honours programs require a strong academic performance and a two-term undergraduate research project and thesis as a 6-credit course (BIOL 490). The Major and Minor programs have fewer required credits in the biology curriculum and allow students to take more courses in other disciplines to acquire their BSc degree. The Major includes all courses that are required for admission to most medical degree programs
