Overview
Agricultural Biology is a Bachelor of Science in Agriculture offered by the University of Saskatchewan's College of Agriculture and Bioresources, available as a standard four-year degree or with an honours designation. The program applies biological science to agricultural and environmental contexts, covering biotechnology, genetics and evolution, plant pathology, plant molecular biology, and wildlife ecology, with attention to issues relevant to Saskatchewan. First-year study introduces biology, chemistry, plant and soil sciences, animal agriculture, and environmental studies, while upper-year coursework includes laboratory technique courses, animal behaviour, and environmental science research projects, supported by partnerships with government and private research organizations. The program is delivered on the Saskatoon campus, accommodates full-time or part-time study, and allows students to begin coursework off-campus before transitioning to campus-based study. Admission is open directly from high school, and there is no mandatory internship or thesis component, although research experience is available through student employment opportunities. Graduates become eligible for Professional Agrologist membership. It suits students aiming at careers such as field or aquatic biologist, extension agrologist, technical research assistant, or roles in biotechnology.

Application Deadline:The University of Saskatchewan does not publish fixed general application deadlines for its direct-entry undergraduate colleges (Agriculture and Bioresources, Arts and Science, Education, Edwards School of Business, Engineering, Kinesiology, Dental Hygiene, Dental Therapy): admission requirements and deadlines for the 2027-28 cycle become available only once applications open on 25 September 2026, and the site gives no separate international closing date. Non-direct professional programs set their own dates instead: for September 2027 entry, the College of Law's JD opens 15 October 2026 with rolling review to a 1 February 2027 documents deadline and is not currently accepting international applicants; the College of Medicine's MD applications close 1 October 2026 for domestic (Canadian citizen/PR) applicants only; and the Nutrition program's single deadline is 15 March 2027 for both domestic and international applicants, with no late applications considered. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
