Biology is the science with the most
immediate impact on our lives. Certainly, the tremendous growth
of biological studies in this century has changed the way we
perceive our role in the world. We are beginning to realize
that we are but one of millions of species, all sharing the
same global ecosystem.
Living things are unique in that they
increase and maintain their levels of organization while the
universe generally moves in a direction of less complexity or
increasing disorder. This requires energy, and one of the
fundamental concepts uniting the fantastic diversity of living
forms is the need for a constant supply of usable energy. How
organisms act and interact with themselves and their
environment in procuring and using this energy is one of
biology’s major areas of study.
Biology is also concerned with the
evolution of life from generation to generation through
mechanisms of inheritance and adaptation that have built-in
allowances for change.
UCFV offers a major and a minor in
biology as part of its Bachelor of Science. An extended minor
in biology is also offered in the Bachelor of Arts program
within the Arts division.
This section specifies the biology
major discipline requirements only.

Some knowledge of chemistry is
essential in order to fully appreciate the world around us;
thus chemistry is justifiably labelled by many scholars as
“the central science”. Whereas chemistry is often
required as a prerequisite for entry into some other field of
study, e.g., medicine, pharmacy, veterinary science, or
engineering, it is also an academically satisfying subject in
its own right. Chemistry graduates are able to pursue rewarding
careers in many areas: working in industrial or government
laboratories, teaching chemistry at the secondary level, etc.
In your chemistry courses at UCFV, you
will study the fundamental principles of the discipline and
will also learn how these principles are utilized in order to
solve problems and develop new products for today’s
consumer-oriented society. For example, chemists are currently
employed in seeking solutions to environmental problems such as
acid rain, the greenhouse effect and the depletion of the ozone
layer; other chemists are involved in developing new drugs to
combat diseases such as cancer and AIDS; while yet others work
to produce new consumer products ranging from gasoline
additives to mouthwash, from pesticides to perfumes, from
“crazy glue” to biodegradable diapers. Who would
not be fascinated by such a subject?
UCFV offers a major as well as a minor
in chemistry as part of its Bachelor of Science.
