Program details
Overview
This Bachelor of Science major studies cells as the fundamental units of life, with coursework addressing protein function, gene expression, and developmental biology, preparing graduates for the workforce, graduate school, or professional programs such as medicine. It is offered through the Faculty of Science and is also available as a BSc Honors degree. The degree is customizable, letting students add an optional minor from more than 60 subjects across faculties or pursue a double major, giving flexibility to pursue related disciplinary interests alongside the core major. Alberta high-school applicants need English Language Arts 30-1, Mathematics 30-1, two courses from Computing Science, Physics 30, Chemistry 30, Biology 30, or Mathematics 31, and one elective from Fine Arts, Humanities, Languages, or Math/Sciences. The program is based within the Faculty of Science, which the page describes as comprising twelve teaching departments and twenty-nine areas of study.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Alberta high-school applicants to Cell Biology (BSc, Faculty of Science) need English Language Arts 30-1, Mathematics 30-1, two of Computing Science ADV, Physics 30, Chemistry 30, Biology 30, or Mathematics 31, plus one elective from Fine Arts, Humanities, Languages, or Math/Sciences. This is a direct-entry program from high school (transfer applicants are directed to the Calendar); the program page states these Faculty of Science course requirements but gives no minimum or competitive admission average and no standardized tests. An Honors variant exists as a separate degree option.
Application Details
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants apply directly to the University of Alberta, not through a provincial service: for Fall 2027 entry the application window opens 1 October 2026 and the deadline for most programmes is 1 March 2027, though several limited-enrolment programmes close earlier (Juris Doctor, 1 December 2026; Dental Hygiene, 1 November 2026) or later (Bachelor of Design and BFA programmes, 1 May 2027); Spring and Summer 2027 admission also opens 1 October 2026, while Winter intake is limited to a few programmes. International applicants use the identical published dates and online application; the university states no separate international closing date. The 1 March deadline is firm and late applications are not accepted, but admission decisions are then issued on a rolling basis, and offers made before 1 April must be accepted by 1 May 2027. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
