Program details
Overview
Climate and Environment at St. Francis Xavier University is a Bachelor of Arts and Science delivered in person on the Antigonish, Nova Scotia campus, jointly offered through the Faculty of Arts and Faculty of Science. The program combines scientific and social-science perspectives on environmental issues, with a first year covering foundational courses in biology, sociology, economics, and either computer science or mathematics alongside introductory climate and environmental studies. Later years allow students to focus on areas of particular interest, and outdoor labs and experiential courses form part of the curriculum. In the fourth year, students complete capstone work in which they collaborate with community groups, governments, or businesses on a real-world environmental problem. A co-op option is available for students seeking paid work experience alongside their studies. The program suits students interested in critical thinking and problem solving around environmental issues that combine social dynamics with scientific analysis. It is intended to prepare graduates for roles in areas such as natural resource management, agricultural strategy, renewable energy, and environmental research, as well as for further study in graduate or professional programs.
