Program details
Overview
The Bachelor of Engineering in Environmental Engineering, offered through the Department of Civil and Resource Engineering, prepares students to design solutions to environmental problems including drinking water and wastewater treatment, waste management, soil and water quality, air quality, and energy conservation and renewables. The program is delivered in person, primarily at the Sexton Campus in Halifax, with a first-year option at the Truro Agricultural Campus; intakes run in September and January. All students complete a common engineering foundation in mathematics, science, and design during the first two years before specializing in environmental engineering in years three and four, where coursework covers environmental microbiology, water treatment, and environmental assessment, culminating in a senior design project. Laboratory work includes hands-on analysis of contaminants in water, soil, and air, supported by GIS and GPS tools. The degree is offered as a four-year standard program or a five-year co-op stream with paid work terms beginning in the third year. It suits students interested in environmental protection, water and wastewater systems, and sustainability who want a program combining engineering fundamentals with applied environmental coursework and optional industry work experience, leading toward roles across consulting, government, utilities, energy, and industry.
Requirements
Minimum GPA:70.00 / %
Admission Requirements: Dalhousie admits Environmental Engineering students through its common first-year engineering entry. The programme page sets a minimum overall average of 70% and requires Academic English 12, Pre-calculus Math 12, Academic Chemistry 12, Academic Physics 12, plus one further academic Grade 12 subject; a separate course-equivalency page lists which subjects from other provinces or curricula satisfy each requirement. The page notes that admission to many Dalhousie programs is competitive, so meeting the 70% minimum does not guarantee a seat and the university may apply a higher effective average. No programme-specific language-test score is published; international applicants are subject to Dalhousie's institution-wide English proficiency requirement, for example IELTS Academic 6.5 overall with no band below 6.0, or TOEFL iBT 90 overall with no section below 20, unless exempt. No portfolio, interview or other non-academic condition is stated. Entry is offered in September and January.
Application Details
Start Date:September and January
Application Deadline:Dalhousie's live Dates and Deadlines page still shows the September 2026 entry cycle as of mid-September 2026, not the 2027 cycle. For that cycle, Bachelor of Science (Nursing), Bachelor of Health Sciences, Bachelor of Science (Medical Sciences) and Bachelor of Social Work close February 15, 2026; the Bachelor of Environmental Design Studies (Architecture) closes March 1, 2026; and the Health Sciences post-diploma option closes June 15, 2026. All other undergraduate programmes are considered on a rolling, space-available basis for both domestic and international applicants, with no separate international closing date published; May 15, 2026 is only the deposit and English-proficiency deadline, not an application deadline. Dalhousie has not yet published September 2027 entry dates. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
