Following the completion of your Natural Science studies, you will: Understand the basic principles of life systems and biological diversity Demonstrate a high level of biological literacy Understand the role and relationship of organisms in the environment Exhibit advanced critical thinking and reflective experience skills Careers in Outdoor Recreation often require individuals to have a basic biology knowledge. This program will enable you to obtain this training, and combine your Natural Science degree with an Honours Bachelor of Outdoor Recreation. Our location in the Boreal Forest makes Lakehead University the ideal institution to study Natural Science. We host intensive local field trips for our undergraduate students, making the most of the environment and wildlife available to us. Many other universities have to travel to get this experience, we can host our field trips within the 3 hours allotted for a class or a lab. As a Natural Science student you will not only have access to the Lakehead University Instrumentation Lab (LUIL) but you will also be taught to operate the tools and equipment to conduct your own research and generate data yourself. Unlike other universities, you will be able to utilize the lab as opposed to passing off your samples to a technician. This practical knowledge gives you an advantage when applying to graduate or professional school, or a science-based job.
