Environmental Biology (ENVB) |
Department of Environmental Biology, Ontario Agricultural College.
The honours B.Sc. program in Environmental Biology combines a study of the functioning of living organisms with study of the physical environment and the interaction between them. Opportunity is presented to concentrate in one of two areas of emphasis on how the understanding of organisms and their environment relates to Plant Protection (pest management) or Environmental Quality.
