Faculty of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences
Plant Science courses are offered through 海角社区's Faculty of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences located on the Macdonald Campus, the largest green space on the island of Montreal.
Bachelor of Science (Agricultural and Environmental Sciences)
Within the听Bachelor of Science (Agricultural and Environmental Sciences) program, you can study plants by specializing in plant biology, plant production, or professional agrology. Each of these specializations consists of 24-credits of courses focusing on a different aspect of plant science.
Students interested in taking the Plant Biology specialization can choose to major in Environmental Biology or Life Sciences. Students interested in the Plant Production or Professional Agrology specializations should major in Sustainable Agricultural Systems.
Hands-on experience is central to our programs. We have unique facilities, including an on-campus farm with crop fields, orchards, and greenhouses听where you can practice and apply what you learn.

Major in Life Sciences or Major in Environmental Biology
Specialization: Plant Biology
The Plant Biology specialization emphasizes the study of plants, from their cellular structure to their role in the ecosystem.
You will examine the structure and development of plants in the context of their function as the primary producers on earth. You will learn about the physiology and biochemistry of plants from the basics of photosynthesis to the production of chemical compounds used for defense against herbivores, pests and pathogens.
You will also develop skills in plant identification, plant propagation, and molecular methods for studying plants and fungi. You will learn how natural selection has shaped the diversity of plants, explore the dynamics of plant communities in the ecosystem, and appreciate the role of plants in society as the source of food, fiber, fuel, medicinal compounds and ornamental.

Major in Agro-Environmental Sciences
Specialization: Plant Production
The goal of this specialization is to give students an excellent background in the knowledge and skills relating to the biology and physiology, breeding, propagation, and management of domesticated plants. The plant industry, in both rural and urban settings, is a sector of growing importance to Canadian and global economies.
Program information not available.
Specialization: Professional Agrology
Agrology focuses on the science and technology required for agricultural production; Students in this major wishing to become members of the Order of Agrologists of Quebec (OAQ) must complete two specializations.
