  The UBC Biology Program is the undergraduate teaching program of UBC's Departments of Botany and Zoology. There are eighteen programs that require a common core of courses in the earlier years and provide maximum flexibility at the Fourth Year level. We hope and expect that during your undergraduate years you will acquire a deep appreciation for the living world and a set of essential skills and attitudes that form the basis for further education and serve you well in later life.
