Biology is the science of life, and as a department we want to foster a fascination with the biological sciences, develop scientific literacy, and build a solid foundation for careers in biology and related professions. Contemporary biology asks many questions due to the vast scope of disciplines related to biological sciences, ranging from the smallest molecules and cellular components, to individual organisms such as microbes, plants and animals, to the larger environment, ecosystems and the biosphere.

These courses are intended as guidelines. Speak to your guidance counsellor to see what courses are offered at your school.

•  Grade12 English  or  Grade12 Français 
•  Grade12 Precalculus  or  Grade12 Mathematics 
•  Grade12 Chemistry 
•  Grade12 Physics  or  Grade12 Biology  or  Grade12 Geology  or  Grade12 Science 

Senior-year Mathematics, Chemistry and another approved science are required courses for admission to the B.Science program. An average of your marks in senior Math, Chemistry, and your best other science course must be at least 75%.
If you don’t meet the admission requirements for direct entry to the Bachelor of Science degree program, but offer a minimum admission average of 70%, you may be given conditional admission to the appropriate Faculty in an entrance program to the extent that capacity allows.
If you present only Chemistry, you’ll be considered at the discretion of the Faculty.
If you have high academic standing you may be considered for admission if you present any two of three grade 12 Sciences, e.g. Biology/Chemistry; Biology/Physics; Physics/ Chemistry, etc.
It is recommended that students who have not taken any mathematics courses for more than two years take MATH 1863 Precalculus before attempting MATH 1001 or MATH 1003.
Students with less than 75% in each of the PRECALCA120 and PRECALCB120 (or equivalent) may want to consider taking MATH 1863 Precalculus before attempting MATH 1001 or MATH 1003.
