Program details
Overview
This program leads to a Bachelor of Science in Zoology at the University of Calgary's Faculty of Science, delivered on campus. It is described as the scientific study of animal biology from the perspective of the entire organism, and teaching combines classroom instruction, tutorials, field work, and laboratory experience, with domestic and international field study options available. Sample first-year courses include invertebrate zoology, general chemistry, human anatomy and physiology, calculus, and energy flow in biological systems. The program includes hands-on laboratory work and collaborative student projects addressing real-world biological questions, though no co-operative work term, thesis, or practicum component is described. It suits students interested in animal biology, field research, and laboratory-based investigation. Career paths mentioned include environmental management and conservation, scientific research, and biotechnology, and the degree also serves as a foundation for graduate study or for professional programs in law, medicine, veterinary medicine, or education.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Direct entry from Alberta high school (Zoology) requires English Language Arts 30-1, Mathematics 30-1, Biology 30, Chemistry 30, and one further approved course or option. University of Calgary states an estimated competitive admission average in the low 90s for this program. These figures are for the Alberta high-school direct-entry route only; other curricula and international applicants are assessed on separate criteria not covered here.
Application Details
Application Deadline:For Fall 2027 entry, the University of Calgary opens undergraduate applications for domestic applicants on 1 October 2026 and for international applicants on 15 August 2026, both closing on the same firm application deadline of 1 March 2027, with supporting documents due by 15 March 2027 and offers accepted by 1 May 2027. International applicants follow the identical March 1 deadline; the university publishes no separate, later international closing date. Applications are not accepted on a rolling basis after the deadline for most direct-entry programmes, though a small number of programmes (e.g. Nursing) run further selection rounds into the summer while space remains. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
