International Year One - Undergraduate Pathway - Natural Sciences (5-Semester Pathway) Transfer to Bachelor of Science - Environmental Science

International Year One allows student to begin earning credits toward their degree even if they don’t meet the academic and English requirements for direct entry. They will receive additional support to help them succeed and progress to their degree path so they can graduate at the same time as direct entry students.

The Environmental Studies and Sustainability (ESS) program provides students with the in-depth knowledge, multidisciplinary perspectives, and critical skills needed to address the complex environmental problems of today and of the future. The ESS major explores disruptions to Earth’s global life-support systems, threats to biotic and human communities, the challenge of environmental justice, and both the obstacles to and the promise of environmental sustainability.

The major is designed with considerable flexibility so that students may pursue a wide range of interests and careers, such as research, environmental law, non-profit work, consulting, and work with state and federal environmental agency work at the state or federal level. Within their ESS major, students may elect the Environmental Science Option, which emphasizes appropriate skills and experiences for science-oriented careers and graduate study.
