Description:
This area of biological sciences studies the processes that occur within all living organisms including the interactions between cells, tissues, and organs. Graduates from the Physiology and Developmental Biology program often find employment in medical research in either an academic or industrial setting, or in teaching at a secondary or postsecondary level. You might also enter a career involving research in a subfield of physiology and developmental biology, go on to study medicine or veterinary medicine, or work in a laboratory at a university or in a private industry.
Admission to the BSc Honors program in Biological Sciences directly from high school requires a minimum average of 80% on the following required courses: English 30 or English Language Arts 30-1, Biology 30, Chemistry 30, Pure Mathematics or Mathematics 30, and a subject from group A, B, or C (Physics 30 recommended).
Admission on transfer requires a minimum GPA of 3.0 on a minimum of *24 in each preceding Fall/Winter. Continuation in the Honors Biological Sciences program requires a minimum GPA of 3.0 in each preceding Fall/Winter. Graduation requires a minimum GPA of 3.0 on the last *60 credited to the degree. Students in Honors programs must take at least *24 during the Fall/Winter of each year of the program. Exceptions to this requirement must be approved by the Department and the Faculty Office.
