BA/BS in Biology is a bachelor's degree in Biological Sciences programme offered by Université Sainte-Anne in Digby, Canada. The programme runs for 4 years, delivered on campus. Tuition for international students is CAD 540 per credit (CAD 298 per credit for local students).
This four-year Bachelor of Science with a major in biology is offered at Université Sainte-Anne's Pointe-de-l'Église campus and requires 120 credits. The program combines theoretical coursework with laboratory and field-based training, giving students access to on-campus laboratories and two greenhouses. Core biology courses are supported by chemistry and mathematics requirements, along with French, English, humanities, and a substantial block of elective credits. Students choose among a general stream, a cellular and molecular biology concentration, or an environmental biology concentration, allowing some specialization within the degree. Delivery is in-person at the main campus, with an emphasis on hands-on scientific work alongside classroom instruction. The program is intended for students interested in biomedicine, biotechnology, pharmacy, or environmental fields, and it prepares graduates either for direct entry into science-related careers or for continued study in professional and graduate programs such as medicine, pharmacy, or veterinary science. Admission requires a secondary school average of at least 60% across five academic-level courses, including French, advanced mathematics, and two sciences. The credential is a Bachelor of Science, and the program suits students seeking a French-language science degree with both broad biological training and room to focus on a specific area of interest.
Requirements
Minimum GPA:60.00 / %
Admission Requirements: Applicants need a secondary school diploma, or equivalent, with a minimum average of 60% across five required Grade 12 (or provincial-equivalent) courses that must include French and two sciences chosen from biology, chemistry, and physics: for example FRA 12, MAT AVA 12/Pre-Calculus 12/Calculus 12, plus two of BIO 12, CHI 12, PHY 12 in Nova Scotia, with comparable French, mathematics, and science course codes applying in New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Quebec, Ontario, and Newfoundland and Labrador. Applicants from other jurisdictions need a secondary-school diploma, or equivalent, covering the courses required for the programme. The university recognises International Baccalaureate, Advanced Placement, and CSAP coursework toward these course requirements.

Application Details
Application Deadline:Université Sainte-Anne publishes no fixed closing date for domestic (Canadian) applicants, who submit their application online for a $55 fee ($60 for the Baccalauréat en éducation and master's programmes) and are assessed as received, though the scholarship-application deadline is 28 February. International applicants use a separate portal with fixed cut-offs for the 2026-27 cycle: applications for the autumn/fall session must be submitted before 1 May of the same year, and for the winter session before 1 August of the preceding year, i.e. by 1 August 2026 for winter 2027 entry. The institution does not describe domestic admission as rolling, but gives it no fixed close. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
