Bachelor of Science in Biology (Co-op Optional)

Program Overview

Biology is the study of life and of living organisms, including their structure, function, growth, origin, evolution and distribution. Of all the sciences, biology is perhaps the most closely related to everyday life. We are exposed daily to news and documentary reports on biological topics such as genetic engineering, environmental conservation, pollution, disease and immunology, social and behavioural interactions and population growth.

Biology at Memorial

We offer various field courses in biology at the Bonne Bay Marine Station, located near Gros Morne National Park, as well as in Terra Nova National Park in eastern Newfoundland and at Memorial’s Harlow Campus in England. Our programs offer tremendous field and laboratory research opportunities for undergraduate students.

In the biology program you have opportunities to become involved in laboratory research, such as through the Memorial Undergraduate Career Experience Program (MUCEP) and the NSERC Undergraduate Student Research Award (USRA) program.

Students pursuing a B.Sc. with a major in biology have the option to declare a concentration in one of the following areas:

  •     Applied ecology and conservation
  •     Aquatic life
  •     Biological tools and techniques
  •     Biology for health professions
  •     Comparative biology
  •     Evolutionary ecology
  •     Molecular, microbial and cell biology

In addition to the major, minor and honours options in biology, joint programs are offered in:

  •  Biology/behavioural neuroscience (B.Sc. honours)
  •  Biochemistry/cell biology (B.Sc. honours)
  •  Biology/Earth sciences (B.Sc. honours)
  •  Biology/psychology (B.Sc. honours)
  •  Biology/statistics (B.Sc. honours)

The Department of Biology offers a co-operative education option available to biology majors. Admission to the co-op option is competitive for a limited number of places.
