Biology in the 21st century is among the most diverse and exciting of the sciences. Many of the challenges we face as a society, from climate change to the development of novel health therapies, involve biological solutions. As a Carleton Biology student, you will gain broad experience through core science courses and options that suit your individual interests and needs. The Major program is similar to the Honours program in that it requires the completion of 20 credits, but it involves fewer laboratory-based classes and does not require the completion of an Honours Thesis research project. Our popular Combined Honours BSc degree in Neuroscience is offered through the Department of Neuroscience and the Department of Biology. Future opportunities Carleton Biology graduates are well prepared for direct entry into careers in the life sciences. Many of our students go on to careers as biological consultants, wildlife and resource managers, and teachers. Some work as research technologists in a wide range of government and industrial research laboratories.
