Biology is the study of life in all its variety and richness. It includes many aspects of a persons everyday experiences: their relationships with the environment, the foods they consume, the way their body works. In fact, functioning in the present world without biological knowledge is a distinct handicap, since biological advances are at the forefront of social change.
When students study biology at Langara, they will examine all aspects of living things: from the molecules that make up their cells to entire ecosystems. Students will get an excellent grounding in a broad range of biology topics. They will also be able to choose courses in numerous specialties, such as ecology, microbiology, genetics, as they focus more closely on their personal interests and career goals.
The Langara Biology Department has a firm commitment to providing the practical aspects of a science education. All the university-transfer Biology courses include 2 or 3 hours of lab or fieldwork per week. Langara has five well-equipped lab rooms, including a dedicated Microbiology laboratory. Their excellent team of lab demonstrators has a broad range of biology expertise and is available to assist students in the labs and during office hours. Also, a study space for second year students is available in the Biology lab area for biology students to work independently on assignments and projects throughout the term.
The Diploma in Biology is designed for students who wish to focus their two years of science study at Langara in biology. It is intended to give students a solid foundation for further study in biology and to provide strong laboratory and field skills.
