Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Environmental Science - Biology

• a foundation in an environmentally-focused science discipline (biology, chemistry, or geology).
• broader interdisciplinary experiences and systems concepts that enable students to work and communicate across disciplines.
• an understanding of political, economic, and regulatory aspects of environmental decision-making.
• an outlook informed by tenets of sustainability.

The Environmental Science major supplies graduates with background knowledge, skills, and intellectual tools that are fundamental to addressing complex and multifaceted environmental problems. Those completing the environmental science major choose from one of three concentrations, in biology, chemistry, or geology.  Students with interests in computer science, engineering, physics, or other fields in which there is not a designated concentration are strongly encouraged to combine a major in their field of interest with the environmental science minor. All environmental science major degrees are awarded as Bachelor of Science degrees.
