Program details
Overview
Environmental Science at Mount Allison University is a science-intensive, interdisciplinary program that studies environmental issues through physical, chemical, and biological lenses, covering topics such as weather and climate mechanics and the biological effects of climate change. The Bachelor of Science is offered as a major or honours degree, with a minor available in any other program. Students can concentrate in areas such as aquatic environments, environmental chemistry, environmental modelling, or environmental monitoring and management, and honours students carry out independent research on topics of their choosing. Learning combines hands-on fieldwork and laboratory work with faculty-supervised research, supported by dedicated teaching labs, a GIS computing lab, and a lab focused on environmental change and aquatic biomonitoring. Delivery is on-campus at the Sackville, New Brunswick campus, with field-based components such as studies around the Bay of Fundy. The program suits students who combine an interest in science with concern for environmental issues and who prefer smaller classes and a multidisciplinary approach. It leads toward careers such as ecologist, environmental consultant, environmental auditor, or further graduate study in environmental management or ecology.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Environmental Science's programme page sets no academic prerequisites of its own for a Bachelor of Science and defers to Mount Allison's general admission requirements. There, decisions weigh the whole applicant — academic record, leadership, level of commitment, and potential for personal growth — with the specific courses and grades required varying by the applicant's province or country and prior education. Applicants whose language of instruction was not English must meet Mount Allison's English proficiency requirement: IELTS Academic 6.5 with no band below 6.0, or TOEFL iBT 90 with at least 20 in each of Listening, Reading, Speaking, and Writing (PTE Academic 60 with no score below 51, CAEL CE 70 with no part below 60, Cambridge English B2 First/C1 Advanced/C2 Proficiency 176 with no band below 169, and Duolingo English Test 110 are also accepted). Three years of Canadian secondary schooling, or 30+ credit hours at an English-medium post-secondary institution, can also satisfy it; applicants short only on language may receive conditional admission through the university's English Summer Pathway Program.
