What it is	This program covers the study of living organisms and human behaviour, from genetics and microbiology to ecology, nutrition, and psychology. You'll choose a focus area like biological sciences, animal science, environmental studies, or psychology, and take courses that build on that specialization. The co-op option lets you alternate between classroom study and paid work in research labs, hospitals, or environmental organizations. It suits students curious about how life works at every scale, from cells to ecosystems to minds, and who want hands-on experience alongside theory.	A four-year Bachelor of Science in Biology teaches you how living organisms work, from cells to ecosystems, with a focus on environmental systems and conservation. You'll study ecology, genetics, physiology, and how species interact with their surroundings, combining lab work with field study. This program suits students who want a broad foundation in biology and are interested in environmental issues, rather than pursuing a specialized professional path like medicine or engineering.	Biological Sciences is the study of living organisms — their structure, function, genetics, ecology, and how they interact with their environment. At Brock, you can pursue this as a straight Bachelor of Science or combine it with teacher education through the BSc/BEd, which qualifies you to teach biology in Ontario high schools. The program includes a co-op option that integrates paid work terms with your studies, giving you practical experience in research labs, government agencies, or industry.	A Biology degree at Glendon lets you study how living things work, from cells and molecules to whole organisms and ecosystems. You'll take core biology courses and choose from specialized areas like genetics, microbiology, human biology, or biotechnology. The iBSc variant integrates bilingual (English–French) instruction throughout your degree, rather than offering biology taught only in English.
