The Bachelor of Science in Renewable Resource Management is an applied science degree that prepares students for careers in renewable resource management. The B.Sc.(RRM) degree focuses on management of land, biotic, and water resources and provides sufficient technical skills to ensure that graduates are highly employable in the resource sector. As well, students are provided with the broader intellectual context that is the hallmark of superior university-level education.

The B.Sc.(RRM) has two fields of study at the major depth of study: Resource Science and Resource Economics and Policy. Students enrolled in renewable resource programs at SIAST or at Lakeland College are able to enroll in the upper years of the Resource Science major in the RRM program with credit for their diploma courses. Students interested in this opportunity should contact advisors at SIAST and the College of Agriculture and Bioresources for further information.

Sustainable use of our land, water and plant resources is increasingly recognized as a key societal goal in the 21st Century.  Management of these resources requires a combination of applied science and management skills with an understanding of the broad societal context.  Renewable Resource Management provides essential skills in resource management coupled with a broader understanding of the role of management in society.  The Resource Science field of study provides students with hands-on, practical experience in field measurement and assessment.

Students entering the college with credit for B.S.A. courses must complete at least 30 credit units of approved senior courses while registered in the College of Agriculture and Bioresources.  Graduates of related diploma programs may be eligible to receive up to two years block transfer credit into the Resource Science field of study.  Students transferring under an articulation agreement, or who have been granted block transfer credit must take a prescribed set of courses.  For additional information, or to determine eligibility for block transfer, contact the Coordinator of Student Services in the Dean's Office, College of Agriculture and Bioresources.
