Students are advised to consult courses listed by these Departments.
Biology is the scientific study of life. At no time in history has
biology been more visible and important to human life and the future of our
planet.
The study of biology has vast applications in understanding one’s
own body, in grappling with the ethical questions that face humanity, and
in understanding the interdependent web of living organisms on the planet.
Today
the biological sciences are experiencing a revolution. Important discoveries
occur almost weekly as scientists and their students around the world develop
and use new techniques, theories, and approaches.
The University of Toronto has many faculty conducting research and
teaching courses in the biological sciences. Within the Faculty of Arts and
Science,
St. George campus, there is no single biology department. Biology courses
once taught by the departments of Botany and Zoology are now taught by
members of
the new departments of Cell & Systems Biology and Ecology & Evolutionary Biology. Each of these departments offers its own programs and courses, but also jointly offers the Biology, Botany, and Zoology programs. Courses are available in the subject areas of behaviour, evolution, ecology, cell and molecular biology, genetics, physiology, and developmental biology. In addition, there are courses offering a field experience for students. Students should consult the Cell & Systems Biology and Ecology & Evolutionary
Biology entries in this Calendar.
Because many areas of biology draw on mathematics and the physical sciences,
background preparation in mathematics and chemistry (and sometimes physics)
is recommended for students pursuing programs in biology.
Students entering their first year in the life sciences take BIO150Y1. BIO150Y1 is
taken by students who have successfully completed grade 12 Biology
(or an equivalent course) and is a prerequisite for almost all further courses
in
the life sciences.
Note that courses prior to 2007-08 that were listed in Calendars under
Botany and Zoology are now listed under Cell & Systems Biology or Ecology & Evolutionary
Biology. All students, regardless of campus or Faculty, must abide by the stated
course prerequisites and exclusions.
