Program Details

Animal Biology School: University of Alberta Faculty: Science Degree: Bachelor ; Co-op ; Honours Field of Study: Biology/Biological Sciences, General Description: Our new program in animal biology includes both invertebrate and verbrate animals. This program addresses three general questions about animals: 1) How do they work (form, function, behavior, physiology, ecology)? 2) How do they develop (gene expression, cell biology, morphogenesis)? and 3) How do they evolve (genetics, diversity, phylogeny)? In addition to learning about exciting new developments in many areas of animal biology, students will develop a comprehensive overview of how the different levels of biology relate to one another, from molecules to behaviour, from physiology to ecology, and from jellyfish to humans. It is a grand vision.
