Associate of Science - Environmental Geoscience Specialization

The Associate of Science – Environmental Geoscience Specialization is a two-year, 60-credit programme at Coast Mountain College combining theoretical coursework with applied, field-based methods in earth and environmental science. Students complete 30 credits in each of Year 1 and Year 2, with fieldwork forming an integral part of the programme; field school courses run in spring and summer. Study can be full-time or part-time, and while most instruction is on campus, some courses are available online or by teleconference. Admission requires life sciences, chemistry and pre-calculus prerequisites at the Grade 11/12 level alongside standard English requirements. On completion, graduates receive an Associate of Science Degree with the Environmental Geoscience specialization, intended either for direct entry into environmental and geoscience-related roles or for transfer into a related bachelor's degree.
