Biology

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.

Dive into the science of life in water, from the Great Lakes to the open ocean and Arctic seas. Courses cover aquatic ecology, fisheries biology, and environmental change, with research opportunities that stretch well beyond freshwater systems, including work tracking marine species like sharks and beluga whales across oceans from the Arctic to the tropics. Graduates go on to careers in environmental consulting, fisheries and wildlife management, conservation science, and research careers.

Study the science of life at every scale, from genes and cells to organisms and ecosystems. This stream gives you a broad foundation across genetics, physiology, microbiology, and molecular biology, so you can explore multiple areas before committing to a focus. It’s a strong launchpad for professional schools (medicine, pharmacy, dentistry, veterinary medicine), but just as suited to careers in biotechnology, public health, environmental science, or research careers.

The Interdisciplinary Health Sciences program provides an exciting opportunity to combine a Biology, Biomedical Sciences and Psychology degree with unique interdisciplinary concentrations. This program allows students to explore global challenges and grow as thought leaders who can tackle issues in areas like global health, the environment and climate change, and sustainable development.

Multiple Concentrations:

• Healthcare Economics
• Healthcare Informatics
• Health and Aging
• Health and Society
• Health and Gender Studies
• Indigenous Health
• Healthy Spaces and Place
• Medical Humanities
• One Health (Environmental Health)
• Biostatistics.
