Research Internship Concentration for Biology Majors

Video URL
Biology is the study of life. 
The Research Internship Concentration is an elite program for Biology Majors that makes 
biological research an integral part of your university degree.

In your first year, you will be participating in unique research projects. Each subsequent year will build on skills in designing, carrying out, and presenting the results from research projects under the guidance of faculty and graduate students. You will also carry out independent research or an undergraduate thesis with our top researchers in your final year.

This elite program enhances skills such as critical thinking, problem-solving, observation, and presentation that are important to high level careers. The Research Internship Concentration offers working relationships with biology faculty, preparation for esteemed research grants, connect with researchers at Agriculture & Agri-Food Canada, and meeting like-minded students.  

The RIC is open to students, majoring in biology, with 80% in Biology 30, a 75% overall average, and a desire to be a part of the scientific research community. All eligible applications will be considered but acceptance into the concentration is limited. Please read through the concentration requirements. Additional information may be requested.

After acceptance into the concentration, the first concentration-specific course, Biology 2001, begins in the Spring semester.
