The BSc in Biology requires the following additional supporting courses:

A student considering a professional career in biology upon completion of the degree is advised that membership in the Alberta Society of Professional Biologists requires the completion of a biology degree program that includes 25 full-term courses (75) in science courses, including at least 15 courses (45) in biological sciences (biology, botany, ecology, microbiology, zoology, etc.), of which at least 4 courses (12) are at the 300- or 400-level.

A student interested in a profession within the health sciences (medicine, veterinary medicine, optometry, etc.) should enrol in the BSc, consider as well a minor in Chemistry plus 3 in Mathematics; and take English as his or her literature course in the first year. The student should check with professional schools of interest for specific courses required for admission.

Recommended course for a student interested in botany: AUBIO 323.

Recommended courses for a student interested in invertebrate zoology: AUBIO 350, 390, 394, 413, 459.

Recommended courses for a student interested in vertebrate zoology: AUBIO 350, 390, 395, 397, 413, 495.

Recommended options include Chemistry, Mathematics, and Physics.

AUPHI 350 and 355 are highly recommended.

Plans for taking AUBIO 318, 319, 418, or 419, should be discussed with the Department Chair or Academic Advisor in the year preceding registration in the course.

Many senior Biology courses are offered only in alternate years.

Required courses: 6 AUBIO 111 and 112 and 3 AUCHE 110.
