Why study Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology? (Specialization program)

• This program focuses on molecular structures and the processes of cellular life and their roles in the function, reproduction, and development of living organisms.
• In the first two years of the program, you’ll concentrate on topics in genetics, microbiology, and plant molecular genetics; after that you can pursue your own area of focus.
• This program can be taken as part of a BSc Specialization or BSc Honors degree.

Why take the BSc Specialization degree?

• The Bachelor of Science Specialization degree provides a focused education in one program. You will take most of your courses in your main subject area, and are expected to maintain a higher standard of academic achievement. A Specialization degree can provide the background to help you proceed to a higher degree, but its primary function is to provide a comprehensive education at the undergraduate level.
• This program can also be taken as part of a BSc Honors degree.

Why study Science at the University of Alberta?

Do you dream of becoming a PhysEd teacher? This combined program allows you to complete two degrees — a Bachelor of Kinesiology, and a Bachelor of Education (Secondary) — in just five years.

By studying Kinesiology, you’ll gain expertise in human movement, exercise science, and athletic movement, preparing you for a variety of related careers in teaching and sport.

You can also major in Physical Education as part of a four-year Bachelor of Education degree.

Why study Statistics? (Specialization program)

Statistics involves collecting, analyzing, and interpreting data, and calls for strong mathematical skills and an interest in problem-solving. Statistics and statistical modelling are essential and in-demand skills that are used in many types of research and industries, from science and medicine to economics and finance.

The Statistics Specialization program allows you to choose from an extensive selection of courses on subjects ranging from the experimental, such as sampling techniques and statistical inference, to the theoretical, such as probability theory and stochastic processes. Graduates from this program can apply to become an Associate Statistician.

Statistics can also be taken as part of a BSc General or BSc Honors degree.

Anthropology explores the origins and history of the human species through investigating biological, cultural, and linguistic diversity in human populations. You will be able to take courses related to four major subfields of Anthropology: Archaeology, Biological, Linguistic, and Cultural Anthropology. Our faculty members have expertise in a range of societies and cultures, past and present, and a range of world areas. Through your courses, you may be exposed to laboratories where you can identify and interpret artifacts and fossils, or the opportunity to conduct and present original research.

This major can also be taken as part of a BA Honors degree.

This program allows you to combine and balance your interests in mathematics with studies in computing science, and will be of interest to you if you wish to study the mathematical foundations of computing, algorithms, logic, or the application of modern mathematical theory to error-correcting codes and cryptography.

This program can only be taken as part of a BSc with Honors degree.

The Honors in Applied Mathematics program trains students to apply mathematical ideas to solve practical problems that arise in the physical, life, and social sciences, as well as in engineering and finance. In addition to offering courses in pure mathematics, this program also offers courses that focus on using theoretical mathematics to solve problems – hence, applied mathematics.

This program can only be taken as part of a BSc with Honors degree.
