Program details
Overview
This Bachelor of Science major investigates the processes that occur within living organisms, including the regulation of function at the sub-cellular, cellular, tissue, organ, and whole-organism levels, with the curriculum covering endocrinology, neurophysiology, developmental biology, immunology, cell signaling, toxicology, and environmental physiology across a range of organisms. 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 or double major from more than 60 available subjects and choose between a broad focus or specialization in a particular discipline. Alberta high-school applicants need English Language Arts 30-1, Mathematics 30-1, two courses from Computing Science, Mathematics 31, Physics 30, Biology 30, or Chemistry 30, and one elective from Fine Arts, Humanities, Languages, or Math/Sciences. The page lists agriculture, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, medical laboratory work, veterinary medicine, government consulting, and science communication among career paths, suiting students interested in whole-organism and systems-level biology.
Requirements
Minimum GPA:70.00 / %
Admission Requirements: Direct entry from high school into the BSc Major program. The Faculty of Science requires a minimum application average of 70% across the 5 required Grade 12 admission subjects; admission is competitive and the Faculty's three-year admission-average trend is low 80s to mid 90s — meeting the minimum does not guarantee a seat. This major additionally requires Biology 30 and Chemistry 30 (or equivalent) as prerequisites to register in program courses and ensure success.
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.
