Field Courses
EEB offers one to two field courses each year to locations such as the New World tropics, Algonquin Park, and U of T’s Koffler Scientific Reserve (north of Toronto).
We also participate in the Ontario Universities Program in Field Biology (OUPFB) which allows U of T students to take field courses offered by other universities in Ontario without having to apply for transfer credit.
COVID-19 Update Regarding Summer 2021
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the department will not be offering field courses for Summer 2021.
For UTSG students, the EEB undergraduate office will accept exceptions of other EEB fourth year (400-level) courses for those students graduating and needing a field course to complete their programs. Please contact undergrad.eeb@utoronto.ca if you have questions or concerns.
