Biology

The UFV Biology department offers Biology majors and minors programs leading to a Bachelor of Science (BSc) degree. Our Biology major is designed to provide graduates with an excellent grounding in modern biology and the working skills of a professional biologist. Biology students at UFV are able to complete concentrations in a lab-rich environment, in areas such as cell and molecular genetics, public school teaching, pre-medicine, organismal biology and ecology.Our program prepares students for professions in biology and for graduate and professional schools. In addition, we offer pre-college biology for upgrading students, and first year non-majors courses primarily for Arts and Education students. At present, UFV is one of only three publicly-funded post-secondary institutions in the Lower Mainland to offer a BSc in Biology.
