From the largest ecosystem to the smallest microorganism, each organism and system is designed to seamlessly work together. So if you share an appreciation of wonders great and small, a biology major might be right for you.

You can anticipate learning both inside and outside of the typical classroom. Sure, you?ll attend lectures, but you?ll also participate in labs and field research to obtain hands-on experience. Many of the required classes are taken in the?Concordia Center for Environmental Stewardship, a LEEDS Platinum facility designed specifically for laboratory courses that emphasize fieldwork and environmental ethics.?

Over the course of your studies, you?ll take 46 credits of required coursework and 14 credits of related electives. ?The required coursework provides a strong foundation in the biological sciences, while the elective coursework allows you the ability to tailor your major to your specific interests.
