At Bishop's University in Sherbrooke, Canada, BA/BS in Environmental Science is offered as a bachelor's degree in Environmental Sciences programme. The programme runs for 4 years, delivered on campus. Tuition for international students is CAD 29,510 per year (CAD 3,118 per year for local students).
This undergraduate degree, housed in the Environment, Agriculture and Geography program within Bishop's University's Faculty of Social Sciences, is offered as a Major over three or four years with Fall or Winter entry and delivered on campus with an emphasis on hands-on learning. The program examines human-environment interactions, giving weight to both the social dimensions of environmental issues and the physical environment itself, and grounds students in the hard sciences needed to study how and why environmental change occurs. It is designed to provide a solid scientific foundation for students pursuing a range of environmental careers rather than narrowing early into a single specialization. Graduates are prepared for paths including environmental consulting, conservation work, environmental science roles, hydrology, environmental engineering, and wildlife conservation, among other options the program lists. The degree suits students who want a science-based approach to environmental questions that still engages with the social and policy dimensions of environmental change, rather than a purely social-science or purely natural-science program. Its combination of physical-science grounding and attention to human-environment interaction is intended to prepare graduates for the varied, interdisciplinary nature of environmental work after graduation.
