Acadia University

You will have an opportunity to explore these habitats in field-based course work and discover the unique character of this region. In-person labs are an essential part of our program. They will give you the opportunity for the hands-on learning that is the foundation of becoming a biologist. You will also be able to learn research skills and do independent research projects. The department owns property on Brier Island (Digby County) and Hemeons Head (Shelburne County), a partnership with the Nova Scotia Nature Trust. We also operate the Richardson Field Station in Biology on Bon Portage Island (Shelburne County) and the Beaubassin Research Station (New Brunswick). These field stations provide accommodations and laboratory facilities for course work and research. Our average student-to-teacher ratio is 20 to 1. Acadia’s small classes prepare you for a future in the sciences while making you feel at home along the way. You’ll gain personalized attention, highly relevant hands-on research, and a student-centred education.
