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

Cinéma du Musée and Concordia University present a special film series to celebrate 50 years of cinema. This series is part of Concordia’s 50th anniversary, and will be a monthly rendez-vous from September 2024 to May 2025 at Cinéma du Musée. Nine feature films were curated by Dr. Martin Lefebvre, Professor and Research Chair in Film Studies at Concordia’s Mel Hoppenheim School of Cinema, and Jean-François Lamarche, Head of programming at Cinémas Beaubien, du Parc et du Musée. The selected films offer a portrait of cinema in 1974 and 1975 in Quebec, in North America and abroad. The mid-’70s were a key period in the evolution of film, as art-house cinema started occupying a greater place amongst the blockbusters of the era. The film cycle showcases films that were critically acclaimed upon release, as well as lesser-known, sometimes forgotten yet influential titles that deserve to be rediscovered by cinephiles. "What became the Mel Hoppenheim School of Cinema was born at a time when international film culture was extremely rich. Screening the great films that our students and professors discovered while they themselves participated in the development of a film culture in our city seems like the best way to celebrate our 50th anniversary." – Dr. Martin Lefebvre 1974-75 : Cinquante ans de cinéma à Concordia
