There are two streams of study to choose from:
The Science and Management stream provides a rigorous education in natural and social sciences and a strong focus on solving conservation issues. Considerable field experience teaches practical approaches for achieving conservation goals. Upon graduation, students from this stream will have satisfied course requirements for becoming a Registered Professional Biologist (RPBio). This program won the Alfred Scow Award for Outstanding Contributions to the Student Experience and Learning Environment at the University of British Columbia. The Global Perspectives stream provides more experience in policy and planning, as well as more breadth in resource systems than the Science and Management stream. Students will obtain hands-on cultural or international experiences in a conservation context.
