Overview
The Bachelor of Science in Forest Sciences is about scientific principles related to forests, forest organisms, and plant and animal ecology. Your learning will be based on the principle that forests are complex ecosystems made up of thousands of living organisms and non-living components, and that our use of one part of the forest ecosystem can impact all of the others. You’ll improve your understanding of forest wildlife, fires, insects, diseases, soil, tree genetics, and forest regeneration. Additionally, you'll complete hands-on lab work and take part in a field school. After graduation, you'll be prepared for careers such as forest geneticist, biodiversity specialist, fisheries and wildlife officer, forest ecologist, pathologist, or entomologist.
