Natural Science, Bachelor of Science Lakehead University

Program Description

Our three-year Natural Science program is within the Department of Biology, yet does not require Chemistry and Mathematics prerequisites and contains less theory-based courses when compared to our traditional Biology programs. If you wish to apply, and acquire a basic knowledge of Biology, without pursuing the "career-scientist" route, Natural Science is for you. Following the completion of your Natural Science studies, you will: Understand the basic principles of life systems and biological diversity Demonstrate a high level of biological literacy Understand the role and relationship of organisms in the environment Exhibit advanced critical thinking and reflective experience skills Our program emphasizes field biology, and integrates many experiential learning opportunities including lab work and research internships. Each year you will have the flexibility to choose electives from other Faculties to supplement your Biology education, and gain a well-rounded and multidisciplinary understanding of living organisms and the environment.
