Master of Science [M.S] [Biology] From Acadia University

Acadia is fortunate in its geographical location, for the local diversity of habitats provides a strong basis for field-oriented course work, enabling the Department to offer a good balance of outdoor and indoor laboratory experiences. The Department is fortunate to own property on Brier Island (Digby County) and Hemeon Head (Lunenburg County), and to operate the Richardson Field Station in Biology on Bon Portage Island (Shelburne County). The Richardson Field Station provides accommodations and laboratory facilities for both course work and thesis research.As a budding biologist, our department places an emphasis on research rather than course work. Individual programs of study are determined by the candidate's supervisor and committee. The advisory committee consists of the supervisor and at least two other faculty members or research associates. Applicants are advised to contact their prospective supervisor directly at the time of application. Acceptance of a qualified candidate is made primarily on the recommendation of the prospective supervisor.
