Programs of Study in the Department of Natural Resource Sciences

There are three programs of study that students may undertake in the Department of Natural Resource Sciences:

• Bachelor of Natural Resource Science:
  This is the standard program for most students in our department. The degree takes a minimum of four years to complete, although many students decide to pursue the Co-Op work-experience option, which will lengthen the program of study. This degree allows students to enter a broad range of employment fields.
• Bachelor of Natural Resource Science, Honours Program:
  Prior to their final year of study, students in the Bachelor of Natural Resource Science degree program may apply to the Honours program. This program has certain prerequisites, and it is designed for students having a strong desire to pursue a career in research.
• Forestry Transfer Program:
  Students wishing to specialize in forestry can complete the first two years of a forestry degree within our department. After the second year, students in this program can transfer to the University of British Columbia (UBC) to complete one of five possible forestry degrees.
  • Other Forestry Transfer Options:
    Students may also transfer from the TRU Forestry Transfer Program to the University of Northern British Columbia (UNBC) or to degree programs in other provinces.

Details on each of these programs are available by clicking on the links highlighted in the above text.
