Biology at Western is a discipline and not a Department. The core biology courses, Biology 022 or 023, 281b, 282b, 283a, and 290a/b of the 3-year Biology program, and the honors programs in Biology, Cell Biology, Ecology and Evolution, and Genetics are co-operatively administered by the Department of Plant Sciences and the Department of Zoology. The core half course, Biochemistry 280a (formerly Biology 280a) is administered by the Biochemistry Department.

Additional biology courses available to students in the 3-year Biology program (and the various honors programs) are offered by the Department of Plant Sciences, the Department of Zoology, and the basic medical science departments of Anatomy and Cell Biology, Biochemistry, Medical Biophysics, Microbiology and Immunology, Pharmacology and Toxicology, and Physiology. Students who wish to complete a 4-year degree in the life sciences may choose from a four-year general BSc in Biology, and 12 different honors programs, each representing a particular area of biological specialization.
