Bachelor of Science in Biology

Biology studies the science of life. This includes all organisms from the microscopic to communities of plants and animals. It explores how they grow, survive, and interact with their environment. Biology also looks at the systems inside organisms, like how the heart pumps blood or how plants make food through photosynthesis. As a student in the Biology program at Laurentian University, you’ll apply your knowledge to many different fields, including anatomy, biophysics, cell and molecular biology, ecology, evolution, environmental biology, genetics, marine biology, microbiology, neurobiology, physiology, zoology, and many others. You’ll also work to solve important issues in your area of interest, such as disease management and research, natural resource management and conservation, health, animal care, and environmental solutions. You can also gain perspectives outside of biology by completing a minor of your choice.
