Earth and Environmental Sciences
In Earth Sciences you will study Earth history and the structure and properties of the Earth. Environmental Science is the application of scientific knowledge from many disciplines to issues and questions relating to the increase in human population, the sustainability of resource use, degradation caused by pollution and disturbance and the endangerment and extinction of species and natural systems.
Depending on course selection, graduates will find themselves eligible for jobs in industry and government dealing with subjects as diverse as environmental protection and mineral exploration. The program also provides excellent preparation for graduate school.
Major in Earth and Environmental Sciences (BSc)
This multi-disciplinary B.Sc. program provides an education reflecting the direction of modern Earth and Environmental Science programs in Canada and elsewhere. It is intended to prepare students to meet the knowledge requirements for professional designation according to the guidelines of the Canadian Council of Professional Geoscientists (CCPG). Students are referred to the CCPG website and the provincial website for current outlines of requirements.
The broad-based core courses ensure a fundamental understanding of past and present relationships among air, water, rocks and minerals and biota. The emphasis is on the interactions between humans and the environment. The program is also extremely flexible so that students can highlight the environment or the solid earth in their studies and enhance their program with related elective courses from Biochemistry, Biology, Chemistry, Geography and Mathematics and Statistics.
Earth & Environmental Sciences Honours Program (BSc)
The EESc honours degree program is designed for dedicated students in Earth & Environmental Sciences desiring a recognized research component in their BSc degree. This program is recommended for students intending to pursue graduate study in the field.
Minor in Earth & Environmental Sciences
The minor program allows you to complement your Major program with study in Earth & Environmental Sciences.
