The Bachelor of Science in Environmental Management degree allows you to learn in our indoor and outdoor classrooms and choose a focus in one of three majors available.
Our environment provides us with the necessities of life:
These ecosystem services and functions also support a diversity of species, which in turn strengthens the resiliency of ecosystems to adapt to a changing environment.
Expanding human populations threaten the environment and functions that are so essential to life on earth by:
This world urgently needs environmental professionals who can find ways to mitigate threats.
Our interdisciplinary Bachelor of Science in Environmental Management (BScEM) degree program will train you to understand ecosystems, the needs of species that depend on them, and how they are affected by human activities.
Equipped with that knowledge, you will be challenged to find ways to reduce our footprint across the landscape, wisely use our natural resources and adapt to a changing environment.
You will take courses across a range of social science, natural science and management subjects including:
We will equip you to acquire and analyze information about the environment using advanced technologies such as GIS (geographic information systems) and LiDAR (light detection and ranging). You will integrate this knowledge with critical thinking and structured problem solving to help you design management plans that meet social, environmental and economic objectives.
Throughout your program, you will learn both indoors and outdoors in our classrooms and laboratories. You will also undertake projects involving research, planning, and implementation for real-world clients such as the municipalities, federal agencies like Parks Canada and Environment and Climate Change Canada, provincial government agencies like the Department of Environment and Local Government and Natural Resources and Energy Development, environmental non-governmental organizations (ENGOs), and Indigenous communities.
Our BScEM program prepares you to embark on a challenging and fulfilling career as an environmental professional. You will be eligible to apply for the Environmental Professional in Training (EPt) designation through ECO Canada. This will allow you to be recognized and employed by organizations in the environment and natural resources sector across Canada.
