Program details
Overview
This two-year Environmental Resource Management diploma prepares graduates for careers in land reclamation, environmental stewardship and rural land-use planning, with an emphasis on environmentally sustainable land management. Students learn to work with landowners and other stakeholders to balance land-use preferences against conservation principles, environmental remediation and monitoring, drawing on ecology, geography, hydrology and soil science to understand how soil, water, plant and animal systems interact within an ecosystem. The program covers water conservation, water quality monitoring and treatment, climate change adaptation strategies, Indigenous perspectives on land stewardship, and the regulations and policies governing environmental management. It culminates in capstone projects where students work with industry partners to address specific local environmental challenges. A co-op placement is part of the program, and a valid driver's licence and vehicle access are recommended for outdoor fieldwork and placement travel. The program suits students who enjoy outdoor work across varied terrain and want to apply data collection and analysis to land and water management decisions.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: The general requirement here is Assiniboine's institution-wide admission and English language proficiency policy, set out in the college's own admission requirements page. On top of it, this programme asks for a complete Manitoba Grade 12 or equivalent, including English 40G/40S (or equivalent) and Essential Mathematics 40S (or equivalent); the page states no minimum marks for these courses. English is the language of instruction at Assiniboine; applicants educated outside Canada or from a non-exempt country must meet the college's institution-wide English language proficiency policy (an approved test, or a waiver such as three years of English-medium Canadian high school including Grade 12 English), as this programme's page states no score of its own.
Application Details
Start Date:September
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants apply directly to Assiniboine College; most programs carry no fixed application deadline and are assessed first-complete, first-served, though competitive-entry programs such as Practical Nursing require a supplemental application and, for Nursing, a CASPer assessment. International applicants may apply up to one year before a program's start date; the college publishes no fixed international deadline, but says many programs form waitlists well ahead of the start date, so early application is encouraged. Admission is effectively rolling: applications are accepted until a program's seats and waitlist are full rather than against a calendar cut-off. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
