This Environmental Science program combines biology, earth science, chemistry, and environmental policy to examine environmental problems from multiple angles. Students can complete it as a Bachelor of Science or a Bachelor of Science with Honours. The undergraduate program carries accreditation from ECO Canada, which supports professional registration after graduation. Coursework mixes classroom and laboratory instruction with outdoor field schools and community-based projects, and sample courses include environmental impact assessment, climate change for practitioners, and environmental communications. Students progress from introductory coursework in year one toward more specialized study, ending with an intensive field course in the final year; an honours option is available for students who want a research-focused finish. Co-op work terms and study-abroad terms are both offered. Delivery is on campus at Acadia University in Wolfville, Nova Scotia. The program suits students interested in applied, hands-on environmental problem-solving rather than purely theoretical study, and it prepares graduates for roles such as environmental consultant, environmental impact assessment specialist, conservation ecologist, or environmental policy advisor, as well as further study through the university's related graduate program in the field.

Admission is otherwise rolling, with no separate international closing date published.
