About the Faculty of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, including School of Dietetics and Human Nutrition (Undergraduate)
The Faculty of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences and the School of Dietetics and Human Nutrition are located on 平特五不中's Macdonald campus, which occupies 650 hectares in a beautiful waterfront setting on the western tip of the island of Montreal.
Students can earn internationally recognized degrees in the fields of agricultural sciences and applied biosciences, food and nutritional sciences, environmental sciences, and bioresource engineering. Students have the opportunity, in all programs, to study abroad in places such as Panama, Barbados, or Africa. Students may also have the opportunity to participate in internships.
Macdonald is a very diverse and international campus. Students are taught by outstanding professors who are among the top in their fields. The campus has excellent facilities for teaching and research, including well-equipped laboratories, experimental farm and field facilities, and the Morgan Arboretum. The campus is surrounded by the Ottawa and St. Lawrence rivers.
The Faculty is at the forefront of advances in the basic sciences and engineering associated with food supply, human health and nutrition, and the environment, and it is a world leader in plant and animal biotechnology, bioproducts and bioprocessing, bioinformatics, food safety and food quality, environmental engineering, water management, soils, parasitology, microbiology, and ecosystem science and management.
The Macdonald campus is an exciting place to live, work, study, learn, and discover. Its very intimate collegial and residential setting allows for strong interaction between staff and students, and for enriched student activity and participation in extracurricular activities. A hallmark of our undergraduate programs is the ability to provide hands-on learning experiences in the field and labs, and the smaller class sizes.
