biological sciences transfer program
You’re keen on science, but not so much on crowded chemistry labs.
With small class sizes and dedicated professors, St. Mary’s might be the right solution for your first and often most challenging years in the sciences.
At St. Mary’s, you can complete two years of full-time study before transferring directly into a biological sciences program at any university in Alberta or beyond.
A degree in the biological sciences is required or recommended for admission into many professional programs, including medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine, chiropractic and optometry, to name a few. We offer all the first- and second-year courses you need for these programs, in interactive and small classes where you will experience unparalleled support, care and attention.
The majority of our biology, astronomy, physics and math labs and tutorials are taught by course lecturers. This kind of continuity between the classroom and lab is rare in a university setting.
If you are interested in scientific disciplines other than the biological sciences, the first full year of most other sciences, including chemistry, physics and math, can be taken at St. Mary’s University College.
"At St. Mary's. I have the opportunity to explore different paths in the sciences and arts."
