Environmental Science includes Specialist, Major, and Minor programs that examine natural processes and human impacts through geography and Earth science, biology and ecology, and the physical and chemical sciences, while fieldwork, practical learning, and research help students apply scientific knowledge to environmental challenges; the Certificate in Sustainability complements these studies by developing an interdisciplinary sustainability lens for examining social, cultural, economic, political, and environmental issues in ways that support ecological health, social equity, and the needs of future generations.
Fieldwork, practical learning, and research opportunities allow students to apply scientific knowledge to environmental challenges while developing an understanding of the connections between science, society, and environmental decision-making.
Students in the Environmental Science Specialist or Major also have the opportunity to apply to the Combined Degree Program in Environmental Science (HBSc) and Master of Science in Sustainability Management (MScSM).
