This program leads to a Bachelor of Science with an honours major, major, or minor in Biology at Redeemer University's Ancaster, Ontario campus. Core coursework covers cell and molecular biology, genetics, microbiology, and ecology and evolution, with senior options in plant physiology, developmental biology, toxicology, and biochemistry, supported by cognate courses in chemistry, mathematics, and the history and philosophy of science. All students take a capstone course, Perspectives on Evolution, examining the science, history, and biblical interpretation of evolutionary theory. Laboratory work begins in first year, and fourth-year students receive dedicated bench space for independent research projects, with an internship or an honours research project available as a culminating experience. Facilities include a teaching garden, greenhouse, and science labs. The program suits students aiming for further study or careers in fields such as medicine, veterinary science, ecology, or laboratory research, and it is delivered on campus in an in-person format.
