Dual Degree - Bachelor of Science - Environmental Biology and Technology (Including College Diploma - Environmental Protection and Compliance Technician) & Bachelor of Education - Intermediate/Senior (PEU)

Students will first complete their Bachelor of Science in Environmental Biology and Technology. Once complete they will move into the two years of their Bachelor of Education.

The Environmental Biology and Technology (ENBT) program specializes in providing students with the knowledge and skills required to study Environmental Biology from many perspectives. Graduates will receive the double-benefit of combining the academic education provided by Nipissing University with the practical and technical skills taught at Canadore College. All courses are completed within four years, and students will emerge with both a Bachelor of Science degree from Nipissing University and an Environmental Technician - Protection and Compliance diploma from Canadore College. As well, there are a number of special certificates that ENBT students can earn.

Students have easy access to a 290-hectare natural area on campus that includes forests, meadows, streams, a pond and an impressive waterfall. In addition, the campus is surrounded by dozens of lakes and many different types of forest habitats, in which classes, field trips, and research projects can take place. The Lake Talon Field Research Station hosts several kinds of Field Camps where students can spend a week in a forest-and-lake situation learning and polishing their outdoor skills. Students of the ENBT Program have access to the lab and research facilities at Nipissing University, as well as the facilities of Canadore College, since the ENBT Program involves the collaboration of the two institutions.​

After completing their Bachelor of Science, students will begin Nipissing University's Bachelor of Education (BEd) program, which was one of the first pre-service teacher education programs to be fully accredited by the Ontario College of Teachers.

The BEd program is part of the Schulich School of Education and meets the requirements of the Ontario College of Teachers for teacher certification (Certificate of Qualification). It is open to applicants presenting proof of graduation with an approved undergraduate degree from an accredited university. The program provided by the Schulich School of Education is rigorous and demands a high degree of commitment. To be successful, a student must display sensitivity to pupils, a sense of responsibility to the teaching profession, and a respect for knowledge.

Candidates may apply to enroll in one of three divisions in the program:

P/J -- Primary/Junior (Junior Kindergarten to Grade 6) J/I -- Junior/Intermediate (Grades 4 to 10) I/S -- Intermediate/Senior (Grades 7 to 12)

Upon successful completion of all six years, students graduate with a Bachelor of Science, College Diploma, and a Bachelor of Education (BEd) degree.
