Environmental Science
The Environmental Science degree has been developed
for students who have a strong interest in science and a concern
for the environment. Students can complete a Major or Honours.
The program is an interdisciplinary, science-intensive program,
requiring comprehensive study of the sciences and mathematics.
Students will take basic science courses from
the biology, chemistry, geography, mathematics, and physics
departments to provide a strong but diverse scientific foundation
required to understand environmental issues from a multi-disciplinary
perspective.
 In
consultation with the environmental science coordinator, students will complement their program with an in-depth
concentration of courses to provide them with a scientific
specialty. Third and fourth year courses in Environmental
Science include special topics courses that allow students
to pursue independent research projects, an Earth System Science
course, and a final year seminar course on the Global Carbon
Cycle.
The environmental science program is for students
interested in science and in developing a diverse set of skills
that that will be useful for careers focused on finding solutions
to environmental problems, including environmental research,
monitoring and management.
Undergraduate Research Opportunities
In the upper years of the program, students
can pursue directed research under the supervision of faculty
in any of the allied disciplines that have a role in the environmental
science program.

coordinator Dr. Colin Laroque.
