Biology is the study of living organisms, from bacteria and cells to plants and animals. This program teaches concepts spanning from cellular structure and function to the environment and bioinformatics, integrating studies in chemistry, computers and management. You can pursue a paid co-op, participate in industry-oriented research and complete an independent thesis project. Further chances to customize your degree include completing optional specializations in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology, Biophysics or Environmental Biology, or an optional designation in Management Science.
