Bachelor of Science in Health Sciences

Students entering the Department of Biology and Biochemistry can pursue one of several different degrees. Incoming students interested in studying Biochemistry can choose one of two degrees: the Bachelor of Science (B.Sc,) honours degree or the Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) major degree. Incoming students interested in studying Biology can choose one of three degrees: the Bachelor of Science (B.Sc,) honours degree, the Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) major degree, or the Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) degree. In addition each student following a Biology degree program must choose one of two concentrations: Health Sciences or Biodiversity and Ecology. The Health Sciences concentration prepares students for graduate school in many different biomedical-related fields, such as cell biology or physiology, and is usually the choice for those students thinking of continuing on to medicine, dentistry, or other health-related professional programs. Students interested in wildlife biology, ecology, zoology, plant science, or environmental sciences should choose the Biodiversity and Ecology concentration. This program prepares students for employment or graduate studies in the various environmental and organismal fields.
