Bachelor of Science (BSc) Honours in Environmental Biology
Explore contemporary environmental issues in this unique program.
Environmental and ecological issues, biological modelling, wildlife and fish biology, plant and animal physiology, limnology and biogeochemistry are just some of the areas you can explore in our environmental biology program.
Learn how to monitor, assess and manage the use of natural resources, apply mapping and remote sensing techniques, and conduct research.
The Bachelor of Science in Environmental Biology is a joint program with Saskatchewan Polytechnic, Lethbridge College, and Lakeland College. Students must first complete one of the following two year diplomas:
- Diploma of Integrated Resource Management at Saskatchewan Polytechnic
- Diploma in Renewable Resource Management at Lethbridge College
- Diploma in Wildlife and Fisheries Conservation or Conservation and Restoration Ecology at Lakeland College
Then, you can apply to the U of R to complete another two years to earn your Bachelor of Science in Environmental Biology.
The U of R’s Biology department has one Tier-1 Canada Research Chair, several NSERC panel members, and editors and associate editors of key Canadian and international scientific journals. Several of our biology professors are recognized leaders in undergraduate education.
Graduates go on to a variety of careers in both the private and public sectors, applying the knowledge and hands-on learning experiences they gained from their program.
