Inclusive Excellence

The Department of Biology welcomes all students, and we are here to support you on your academic journey.

The Department of Biology is working within the goals of UBC to support inclusive excellence.  The UBC-wide reports and mission statements are important resources for us.

We respectfully acknowledge the Syilx Okanagan Nation and their peoples, in whose traditional, ancestral, unceded territory UBC Okanagan is situated.
