The Environmental Science program contains a core sequence of compulsory courses and a choice of disciplinary specialisations. The specialisations include: Biology, Chemistry, Geography, Earth Science, Marine Biology, Microbiology, and Oceanography. Students will need to select a specialisation early in their programs. Please click on 'Areas of Specialisation' at the end of this page for specialisations' course requirements.

The aim of the program is to provide a strong education in the skills and knowledge necessary to work or carry out research as an environmental scientist. In their final year, students carry out a major independent research project and may also do advanced coursework. The BEnvSc is designed as a 4 year (full-time) program. There is also an opportunity for students to combine the BEnvSc with a Bachelor of Arts by taking a 5 year program. Students who are unable to complete the BEnvSc may transfer to the 3 year Bachelor of Science and graduate with a BSc with a major in one of the environmental areas.
