Biological Science allows you to explore, discover and understand biology from a variety of perspectives – from molecules to populations. Your studies will focus on the study of living organisms, their evolution, interactions with other organisms and the ecosystems that they live and rely on. The many areas of study under the umbrella of biological science allow for flexibility within the major and allow you to tailor the major to your interest.
Students in the BIOS program may also be interested in studying Animal Biology, Environmental Biology, Marine and Freshwater Biology, Plant Science, Wildlife Biology and Conservation, Ecology, Environmental Sciences, or other majors.
