Bachelor of Bio-Resource Management
Why choose a bachelor's degree in Bio-Resource Management?
Want to change the world? Bio-resource management will empower you to do just that. You’ll support sustainable research and business practices while being on the leading edge of technology and innovation. The program is designed for those who want to pursue advanced studies in science, technology, and business management focused on a specific area of interest: food, equine, or the environment.
Love business and science? You don’t have to choose. The BBRM is an interdisciplinary program that combines advanced studies in science, technology, and business management. But this powerful combination comes to life with hands-on training in bio-resource management and stewardship. Translation? This real-world experience will empower you in your career pursuits and give you that competitive edge over others.
Choose one of three majors to target your unique area of interest: Environmental Management, Equine Management and Food Industry Management. A co-op option is available for all three majors. You can also participate in faculty-led field trips and earn course credits for research and summer job experiences.

What Alumni and Students from the program are saying about U of G
I really liked the flexibility that the program gave. You can choose a lot of electives toward business, so that was something that really drew me to the program.
This program was perfect for me because it is the most unique equine experience for students looking to get into the equine industry. The program is very hands-on and features opportunities like the equine internship which is an opportunity for students to get real-world experience.
