What to watch for
Biology is direct entry at 70%, Thunder Bay, and Lakehead's own listing says it includes Environmental Science, Animal Sciences and Plant Sciences as streams. Applied Life Sciences (AA, 70% or 75%) runs at both campuses. Lakehead has two campuses and many programmes run at only one: check the campus in the programme name before you apply, because Thunder Bay and Orillia are 1,400 km apart.
