The University of Calgary really prioritizes research and has many opportunities for students to get involved. Even with no previous experience, if you take initiative, there are many different possible ways to learn about the research process. This hands on experience that is offered allows students to find out more about possible careers, and teaches applicable skills that strengthens their resume for grad school or future jobs. The one downside is that there are not always as many classes offered as you would prefer in your major felid.
