Biology (bsc) in University of Northern British Columbia

The Bachelor of Science in Biology is a broadly based undergraduate program in biology that is designed to present the major concepts of contemporary biology at the molecular, cellular, organismal, population and community levels. The degree is designed to have sufficient flexibility for students to follow interests ranging from microbial to plant to fish or wildlife biology. Capitalizing on the northern setting of the University, there is an emphasis on northern flora and fauna, morphological, biochemical, physiological and behavioural modifications to temperate and arctic conditions and the dynamics of microbial, plant and animal populations in northern ecosystems. The Bachelor of Science in Biology is intended to prepare students for application to various professional schools or for a wide range of biology-related careers. Students who complete the degree are automatically eligible to apply to the College of Applied Biology as a Biologist in Training or a Registered Professional Biologist.

Major in Biology
The major in Biology requires students to take at least 65 credit hours of biology-oriented courses, of which 42 credit hours must be at the 300- or 400- level. Note: NRES 430-6 can count as up to 6 credit hours toward this requirement (with permission of the Ecosystem Science and Management Program Chair).
