FOUNDATIONS OF SCIENTIFIC INQUIRY AND DISCOVERY:

The College of Natural Sciences begins with a strong emphasis on building a foundation in scientific inquiry and discovery. Students explore various scientific disciplines, including biology, chemistry, physics, and environmental science, allowing them to develop a well-rounded understanding of the natural world. This foundation equips them with the knowledge and skills necessary to conduct research and analyze the complexities of nature.


HANDS-ON LAB EXPERIENCE AND SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH:

Beyond the classroom, our College of Natural Sciences places a significant emphasis on hands-on laboratory experience and engaging in scientific research. Students have opportunities to conduct experiments, collect data, and participate in research projects. These experiences not only enhance their practical scientific skills but also provide valuable insights into the world of scientific investigation.


GLOBAL ENVIRONMENTAL CHALLENGES AND INTERNATIONAL SCIENTIFIC COLLABORATIONS:

The College of Natural Sciences at Hudson Bay University is committed to addressing global environmental challenges and fostering international scientific collaborations. Our curriculum explores international perspectives on environmental issues, biodiversity, and sustainability, encouraging students to engage in collaborative research and initiatives with scientists and environmental experts from around the world. This global perspective equips students to contribute to solving pressing global environmental problems and advance our understanding of the natural world.

Microbiology focuses on the study of microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Students delve into microbiological principles, laboratory techniques, and the impact of microorganisms on human health and the environment.


An extension of the introductory course, Introduction to Human Biology provides a more in-depth exploration of human biological systems. Students study human physiology, genetics, and the intricacies of the human body.


Special Topics in Biology allows students to delve into specific areas of interest or emerging trends in the field. It provides an opportunity to explore unique aspects of biology.
