Graduates work in government laboratories, university research laboratories, scientific consulting organizations, pharmaceutical companies, conservation and wildlife management, and the scientific publishing industry. Graduates may apply to enter dental, medical, veterinary science, and education faculties. Those who have obtained the 4-year B.Sc. or Honours B.Sc. are well prepared to enter graduate programs, ultimately leading to careers as scientists.

Evolution, Ecology, and Biodiversity is a first-year course emphasizing the evolutionary and ecological processes that underlie the relationship between an organism and its environment. Topics include natural selection and the origin of species, systematics and taxonomy, the origin of biological diversity, growth and reproductive strategies, and communities and ecosystems.

Cells and Cellular Processes is a first-year course introducing the cellular level of organization. It covers cytology, cell metabolism, patterns of inheritance, and mechanisms of cellular control.

Genetics is a second-year course dealing with the processes of heredity at all levels, from molecules to populations. It provides a basis for the evaluation of contemporary issues such as genetic engineering, environmental mutagens, and gene therapy. Topics include extensions to Mendelian analysis, mapping techniques, mutation, the genetics of bacteria and viruses, the gene, and recombinant DNA technology.
