Overview

Bachelor of Science in Forestry

A Bachelor of Science in Forestry (BScF) at the University of New Brunswick is about trees, plants, water, and wildlife management – the atmosphere, soils, and landscapes. 

It’s about people’s beliefs and values. It’s about the economy and spirit. BScF is about managing all these in sustainable ways. 

It’s about solving complex problems to benefit current and future generations.

Why Forestry at UNB?

The BScF program at UNB is one of the oldest in Canada and has been offered for over 100 years. 

UNB has a deep history of producing graduates who are much sought after in the industry, and many have become leaders in the field.

You will learn outdoors in the university’s forests, including the 1,500-hectare University Forest near the Fredericton campus.

Academic background and requirement

Students must complete six specific high school courses, according to their program of choice. 

UNB takes the overall average of the high school grades achieved in these six courses to calculate the student’s "minimum admission average", which is used to determine admissibility. 

For students who are taking required courses in the second semester of grade 12, and therefore don’t have access to their grades when they apply, the prerequisite course (usually grade 11) will be used to make a grade estimate for the grade 12 course required for admission to your selected program of study. 

Please note that UNB does not accept 'mid-term' grades.
