Welcome to the Biology Department Homepage

Our Department offers regular and Honours (thesis research) degrees as well as M.Sc. and Ph. D. programs. Undergraduates can choose to take a general Biology program or specialize by taking a concentration in “Cellular and Molecular Biology” or “Ecology and Environmental Biology”. We also offer a variety of combined degrees with other Departments and Faculties and joint programs with other institutions. Small class sizes (30 students or less for upper courses) combined with high quality laboratory components means every student gets superior hands on training and substantial student-professor interaction with some of the very best scientists in Canada.

Student can be assured of receiving a high quality level of education in our Department. Tangible indicators of this include the fact that our department is recognized internationally as a leader in plant and animal science. Our graduate and undergraduate research is currently ranked in the top 1% of all Plant and Animal Science Departments in the World (>39,000 schools). Furthermore we are home to three Canada Research Chairs, an NSERC University Faculty Award winner, and two National Award winners, all of whom teach undergraduate classes and train graduate students. Every single faculty member in Biology holds an NSERC Discovery grant that fosters undergraduate research experiences and facilitates internationally recognized scholarship. Finally, our faculty members have received University of Regina Alumni Awards of Excellence for Undergraduate Teaching, Research, and Public Service.
