Program Details

Biology School: Nipissing University Faculty: Faculty of Arts & Science Degree: Bachelor ; Honours Field of Study: Biology/Biological Sciences, General Description: Nipissing's Biology programs have something to offer everyone. With an emphasis on ecology and field studies, Nipissing takes full advantage of the lakes and forests at its doorstep. Field trips and student projects are vital components of the Biology programs and most courses include a combination of lecture and laboratory instruction. An intensive field camp experience is offered to fourth-year students in the Honours program. This unique excursion allows students to sample, collect, and identify organisms and environmental data, which lead to a major report and presentation during the final year. The Honours degree also includes a significant, faculty-supervised field or laboratory research project that involves a written dissertation. Past research opportunities have included the planning for genetics experiments of upcoming Canadian Space Agency missions.
