Program details

Overview

The Bachelor of Science major in Biological Sciences emphasizes experiential learning through laboratories, field work, and research across two streams: Molecular and Cellular, and Ecology and Diversity. Coursework covers genetics, biochemistry, cell biology, zoology, botany, and ecology. The 120-credit degree offers flexibility through major and minor combinations and is designed to build broad, widely applicable knowledge and abilities rather than a single narrow specialization. The program is delivered on-campus at MacEwan University's City Centre Campus in Edmonton, typically over four years of full-time study, with the exact duration varying according to a student's chosen configuration of majors and minors. Graduates are prepared for further study or careers in fields such as research, health sciences, environmental science, and biotechnology. The department can be reached directly for guidance on selecting a stream and planning a course sequence.
