Our Environmental Biology and Technology (ENBT) program specializes in providing you with the knowledge and skills required to study Environmental Biology from many perspectives. You will receive the double-benefit of combining the academic education provided by Nipissing University with the practical and technical skills taught by our colleagues at Canadore College. All courses are completed within four years, and you will emerge with both a university degree and a college diploma. As well, there are a number of special certificates that ENBT students can earn. Graduates of the Environmental Biology and Technology program receive a Bachelor of Science degree from Nipissing and an Environmental Technician - Protection and Compliance diploma from Canadore College. Nipissing University Professors and Instructors are outlined under the “Our People” tab. Our colleagues from Canadore College who collaborate on the ENBT Program include professors with expertise in the areas of Chemistry, Geoscience, Microbiology and Biology. Show less
