The Chemistry and Brewing Sciences Department programs provide studentswith a balanced, rich, and practical education in all sub-disciplines of Chemis- try – Analytical, Biochemical, Inorganic, Organic and Physical, and Brewing Sciences (Hops, Yeast, Brew- ingWater Chemistry, Malt and Malting, and Business of Brewing). Class sizes in chemistry and brewing sciences courses are small, which promotes close personal interaction between faculty members and students. The department has an excellent set of modern instruments, which are used by undergrad- uates in their laboratory courses and in research projects. This contrasts with many large universities where many instruments are primarily reserved for graduate students. Students graduating with a Chemistry degree from Bishop’s University have had an excellent record of being admitted to graduate schools and profession- al programs (Medicine, Dentistry, Pharmacy, Educa- tion, etc ) or in finding employment in their field.

Biology is the study of life. We address questions as miniscule as the factors controlling the expres- sion of a single gene, to as wide as changes to an entire ecosystem. The B.Sc. degree requires a strong grounding in the core sciences (math, physics, and chemistry). The B.Sc. is the best option if you intend to apply to grad- uate (M.Sc. or Ph.D.) or professional (e.g. medicine or physiotherapy) programs. Students with a strong in- terest in biology but not a strong grounding in the ba- sic sciences thrive in the B.A. Biology program. The B.A is much more flexible than the B.Sc., and many students pair it with a second B.A. major.

A student in the Classical Studies department will enter the world of the ancient Mediterranean. We focus especially on the civilizations of Greece and Rome and offer courses in their literature, mythol- ogy, history, culture, art, and archaeology. Students have the opportunity to learn Latin, the language of ancient Rome and medieval Europe, and Greek, the language of philosophy, tragedy, and the New Tes- tament.
