Program details

Overview

The Faculty of Forestry's micro-certificate builds professionals' basic knowledge of spotting and diagnosing forest health issues and of how to mitigate their impact, focusing on issues brought on by biotic agents, among them insects and pathogens. By the end, participants are expected to be able to recognise the most significant biotic agents behind outbreaks in BC and to prescribe appropriate mitigation measures.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: The micro-certificate will be of interest to professionals in the private, public, or non-profit sectors whose job entails working on sustainable forest management. The program is also open to those considering new careers in forest management and seeking to develop core competencies in this field.

Application Details

Start Date: February

Application Deadline: Domestic and international undergraduate applicants both apply through EducationPlannerBC for Winter Session 2027/28 (September 2027 entry) and Summer 2027: applications open in early October 2026 and the equal-consideration deadline is 15 January 2027, 11:59 p.m. PST, the same date for both groups; a few programs keep reviewing late applications on a space-available basis afterwards. Earlier dates apply only to entrance-award consideration -- 15 November 2026 for the International Scholars Program and 1 December 2026 for Presidential/Centennial/Beyond Tomorrow scholars. Several limited-entry programmes -- Law, Pharmacy, Dentistry, Nursing (advanced entry), Occupational/Physical Therapy, Social Work and Teacher Education -- set their own earlier deadlines from October 2026 through February 2027. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
