Biology is the study of life at all levels of biological organization; from molecules and cells to populations and communities.  Undergraduates who complete a single major in biology at Trent University will have a broad introduction to these topics, along with the opportunity to specialize in aspects of biology that particularly interest them.  In addition, many courses provide an opportunity for independent research.

The Biology Department offers two specializations at the undergraduate level, one in Conservation Biology, the other in Health Studies.  As well, the Biochemistry & Molecular Biology program is shared with the Chemistry Department.  Students may also choose to do joint-major degrees with other departments or programs, including Environmental and Resource Sciences/Studies, Chemistry, Geography, Anthropology, and Psychology, among others.

Faculty members in the Biology Department supervise graduate students through one of Trent University’s interdisciplinary graduate programs. Please click the Graduate Programs link for details.
