About Bachelor of Science - Environmental Science (Co-op)
Program Description
Through this program, students will get a solid grounding in chemistry and biology and still have lots of room to explore environment-related courses in ecology, aquatic ecosystems, geology, hydrology, and more. Students will learn about climate change, groundwater flow and contamination, environmental impacts of pollution, responsible extraction of Earth resources, waste disposal, and human engineering of Earth processes.
Students will be able to specialize in Ecology to address ecological sustainability and biodiversity while learning about the fundamental science of life on Earth. Students can go the Geoscience route and focus on the interactions among the geosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere as well as the human activities that encompass the complex and dynamic Earth System.
Or students can choose the Water Science specialization and investigate the unique properties of water; the distribution and movement of fresh and salt water above, on, and within the Earth; and the quality and quantity of water that humans depend upon to survive and thrive on this planet.
Any route they choose, whether students want to gain paid work experience through co-op or not, they will be part of one of the top four environmental science programs in Canada (QS World University Rankings by Subject 2021) — and graduate with the scientific knowledge, creativity, and expertise their need to create a more sustainable world.
