The Honours BSc Biology program consists of a minimum of 20.0 credits (or equivalent), no more than 6.0 of which may be at the 100 level. The program emphasizes organismal biology including the traditional areas of structure, function and taxonomy. It provides extensive experience in laboratory work and a broad exposure to field situations. The development of communication skills, both written and oral, and the study of related science disciplines are important components of the program.
