Our Department is home to faculty and researchers with research interests in ecology, environmental biology, physiology, microbiology, cellular biology and molecular biology. Our research facilities include an aquatics facility, a field station in the Cypress Hills of southwest Saskatchwean, the Institute of Environmental Change and Society (IECS) and the Institute for Microbial Systems and Society (IMSS). The IECS and IMSS provide infrastructure and research expertise in environmental and microbial sciences via state-of-the-art microscopy, proteomics and genomics facilities. Additionally, we frequently collaborate with researchers at the Royal Saskatchewan Museum, the Roy Romanow Provincial Laboratory and several other scientific organizations in southern Saskatchewan.

We offer high quality undergraduate and graduate programs. The undergraduate programs have strong hands-on components as many courses include laboratories developed and overseen by full-time laboratory instructors. Junior and senior students also benefit from small classes (10 - 30 students in some courses). We have an active honours program, a co-op program and many opportunities for students to participate in research projects. Accessible, modern research facilities put our PhD and MSc students at the forefront in their fields. Our graduate students benefit from working in a close-knit, supportive environment that encourages innovative science.
