About the course

The Environmental Science Bachelor of Science is an interdisciplinary degree in which students take a core curriculum along with a minor. The core curriculum is designed to provide students with knowledge of the fundamental biological, chemical, physical and applied aspects integral to the field of environmental science. In addition, students are exposed to many of the human dimensions that underlie environmental issues. This approach ensures a uniform preparation among students and allows for the development of a diversity of expertise necessary to address the complexity of present environmental problems and future unanticipated ones. Our Environmental Science degree prepares you for a career in natural resource management and environmental health and safety while meeting the educational components of the National Occupational Standards for Environmental Employment.

　　Environmental Science is an interdisciplinary degree teaching you the core aspects of environmental studies. You will be introduced to the human dimensions underlying environmental issues such as production, consumption, and ultimately disposal of natural resources. Learn about air pollution, climate change and global warming, waste management, meteorology, energy systems and sustainability among other issues. Apply your knowledge in practical settings such as the Quesnel River Research Centre, where students participate in groundbreaking research projects, or choose from many field schools.
