Red Deer College has received approval to offer a new Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences degree. This will be the first baccalaureate degree for the school outside of the applied programming. Students will be able to begin their education in this new degree as soon as September 2021.

“We are excited to be able to offer more students with degree-completion opportunities through this new Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences,” says Dr. Peter Nunoda, RDC President.

The program will study various aspects of biological sciences including animal physiology, molecular genetics and heredity, botany and ecology.

“Learners in this BSc. degree will engage in research as well as practical and experiential learning activities to equip them for future careers and educational pursuits,” says Kylie Thomas, RDC’s Vice President Academic and Research. “RDC’s knowledgeable and talented faculty now have further opportunity to share their expertise and position learners for success at RDC and beyond. We look forward to welcoming our first students to the Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences degree program.”
