Animal Biology

Program Overview & Highlights

Honours 4-year program
Thesis Available
Combined Honours programs available
BSc

Explore the biology, behaviour, and conservation of animals, from small-scale physiology to whole-population dynamics. You’ll study anatomy, animal behaviour, and wildlife ecology, with opportunities to work in the field and in the lab on projects ranging from animal physiology to species conservation. UWindsor researchers work across a wide range of species and ecosystems, from bird song and physiology to fish conservation and reintroduction, insect ecology, forensic entomology, and how Arctic species like polar bears are adapting to climate change. This stream is a strong fit for

students headed toward veterinary medicine, wildlife biology, conservation work, or zoology.

Many hands-on opportunities to get involved in biological research starting in year 1 and develop skills that will prepare you for a broad range of career paths and professional schools.

Very flexible and comprehensive program where students can choose to focus in any area of study (from molecular biology to ecosystems).
