Canada is known globally for its natural resources. But climate change, growing populations and economic growth are putting more and more pressure on sustainability. Natural resources practitioners play a vital role in the long-term stewardship of our fisheries, forests, wildlife and parks.

• Natural Resources programs combine classroom study with practical labs, field work and/or work placements for hands-on learning.

• Small class sizes allow one-on-one attention and of plenty of student-instructor interaction.

• Diploma programs share a common first year. Specialize in your second year and then get a second diploma simply by taking a third year at SIAST.

• Natural Resources programs are located at SIAST Woodland Campus in Prince Albert – on the doorstep of Saskatchewan’s vast expanse of northern forests and parks. 

• 100% of Natural Resources grads¹  rate the ability of their program to prepare them for work in their field of study as good to excellent.

• Graduates enjoy a range of natural resources career opportunities and great starting salaries.

• Excellent transfer agreements with other post-secondary institutions let Natural Resources grads ladder into degree programs at a number of Canadian universities.  See Transfer Credits for more information.
