Please note that the course information listed on the charts below refer to requirements for a degree in the Biology Major. Courses required outside of the major for graduation (i.e. for the Canisius Core or All-College Honors Core Curricula) are not included.
In addition to the requirements mapped below, students interested in direct employment upon graduation with a Bachelor of Science degree from Canisius University may choose upper level (300/400-level) courses according to their biological interests (Ecology, Cell Biology, Genetics, etc), considering the same subject emphasis as listed in Pre-Graduate Studies Pathways.
