BA/BS in Biology is a bachelor's degree in Biological Sciences programme offered by The King's University in Edmonton, Canada. The programme runs for 4 years, delivered on campus. Tuition for international students is CAD 774 per credit (CAD 516 per credit for local students).
The Biology program at The King's University is offered as a four-year or three-year Bachelor of Science, or as a minor. Coursework combines classroom study of human and animal biology, microbiology, and ecology with hands-on components, including field research trips to the Rocky Mountains, DNA analysis in campus biochemistry labs, and plant study using the campus greenhouse, with flexibility for students to pursue particular interests within the discipline. Off-campus study options are available through partnerships with the Au Sable Institute of Environmental Studies and Creation Care Study Program sites in New Zealand and Belize. The program is delivered on campus in Edmonton at a Christian university that frames the study of biology within a faith perspective on the natural world. It is designed for students interested in health and life-science careers such as medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, physiotherapy, nursing, and veterinary medicine, as well as environmental consulting, conservation, and wildlife biology, and suits students who want laboratory and field experience alongside classroom instruction.
Requirements
Minimum GPA:60.00 / %
Admission Requirements: Admission follows King's general requirements plus the science prerequisites the university lists for Biology. The three-year Bachelor of Arts and three-year Bachelor of Science need Biology 30, Chemistry 30, and Mathematics 30-1 or 30-2; the four-year Bachelor of Science needs Biology 30, Chemistry 30, and Mathematics 30-1. All variants also require English 30-1 (or equivalent), three standard Grade 12 courses, one additional Grade 12 course, and an overall average of 60% or higher; King's admits non-competitively once these thresholds are met. International applicants must meet King's English Language Proficiency Requirement: IELTS Academic overall 6.5 with a minimum of 5.5 on each band, or TOEFL iBT overall 88 with a minimum of 21 on each section (PTE 59, CAEL 70, or Duolingo 115 overall/95 per section also accepted), unless exempted by prior English-medium study.
Application Details
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants to The King's University apply directly to the university: for Fall 2026 entry applications opened October 1, 2025 with a regular deadline of June 15, 2026 and a document deadline of September 30, 2026, while Winter 2027 entry opened February 1, 2026 with a regular deadline of December 2, 2026 and a document deadline of January 30, 2027. International applicants follow the same intakes but with an early, reduced-fee deadline ahead of the regular one - April 15, 2027 for Fall 2027 and October 16, 2026 for Winter 2027 - to allow time for study-permit processing, alongside the shared regular deadlines above. King's states it may accept applications after its stated deadlines on inquiry, so admission functions as rolling rather than strictly firm. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
