Courses
Current
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. For students pursuing further study in biology, the diploma also allows for maximum flexibility in designing their curriculum to meet the program requirements at other institutions where the Biology Flexible Pre-Major does not apply.
Students must complete a minimum of 61 credits including:
first-year university-transferable ENGL courses
and
Note: SCIE 1113 or 1114 can replace one of the required ENGL courses.
university-transferable science electives (may be additional BIOL courses)
Note: Students completing a diploma and transferring to a university in BC should consult with the receiving institutions regarding courses required for entry into specific programs of study.
university-transferable arts courses
Notes
Students who do not meet the prerequisite requirements for BIOL 1115 are advised to take BIOL 1111 as one of their science electives.
Many degrees in the life sciences require first-year physics and second-year organic chemistry.
Total credits for the program may exceed 61 depending on additional prerequisite courses, and the specific combination of science and math courses chosen.
