The program’s combination of theoretical background, practical skills, real experience, and techniques to hone independent thinking and problem solving skills will give graduates an advantage and a better chance of success in a competitive market. The Environmental Biology and Technology (ENBT) program specializes in providing students with the knowledge and skills required to study Environmental Biology from many perspectives. Graduates will receive the double-benefit of combining the academic education provided by Nipissing University with the practical and technical skills taught at Canadore College. All courses are completed within four years, and students will emerge with both a Bachelor of Science degree from Nipissing and an Environmental Technician - Protection and Compliance diploma from Canadore College. As well, there are a number of special certificates that ENBT students can earn. Students have easy access to a 290-hectare natural area on campus that includes forests, meadows, streams, a pond and an impressive waterfall. In addition, the campus is surrounded by dozens of lakes and many different types of forest habitats, in which classes, field trips, and research projects can take place. The Lake Talon Field Research Station hosts several kinds of Field Camps where Nipissing students can spend a week in a forest-and-lake situation learning and polishing their outdoor skills. Students of the ENBT Program have access to the lab and research facilities at Nipissing, as well as the facilities of Canadore College, since the ENBT Program involves the collaboration of the two institutions.
