What Does the Biology Department at Brandon University Offer?

We offer 3-Year, 4-Year, and 4-Year Honours B.Sc. programs in Biology.

A 3-year or 4-year degree in an area of biology can meet the academic requirements for admission into the University of Manitoba School of Medicine and other professional programs such as Dentistry, Optometry or Veterinary Medicine

Information about pre-professional programs can be found in section 9 of the BU General Calendar.

If you are considering a career in the biological sciences we suggest that you take the 4-Year program. If you plan to enter a professional school such as Dentistry, Medicine, Optometry or Veterinary Medicine we suggest that you consult the advisor for the program you want to pursue.

Students entering the Biology program must have completed Senior 4 Biology, English, Mathematics and Chemistry or their equivalents. Applications for exemption from these requirements may be made to the Biology Department.
