Program details
Overview
Environmental Studies at The King's University is offered as a four-year Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science, or as a minor, examining environmental challenges through combined scientific and social perspectives. The curriculum includes interactive classroom and laboratory work along with annual field trips across Western Canada to sites such as national parks, oil sands facilities, and wastewater treatment plants, plus a required 13-week summer internship after the third year. Students also have access to additional field courses through the Au Sable Institute at international locations including India, Costa Rica, and Michigan. The Bachelor of Arts track focuses on human dimensions such as government policy, social change, and sustainable practices, while the Bachelor of Science track emphasizes conservation biology and land reclamation. Delivery combines campus-based instruction with substantial field experience. The program is designed for students interested in environmental stewardship from either a scientific or a policy angle, with career paths including conservation officer, environmental consultant, policy analyst, and wildlife biologist.
Requirements
Minimum GPA:60.00 / %
Admission Requirements: Admission follows King's general requirements plus a science prerequisite that depends on concentration. The Biology concentration needs Mathematics 30-1 or 30-2, Biology 30, and Chemistry 30; the Chemistry concentration needs Mathematics 30-1, Biology 30, and Chemistry 30. Both also require English 30-1 (or equivalent), three further standard Grade 12 courses, one additional Grade 12 course, and an overall average of 60% or higher; King's admits non-competitively once these thresholds are met. International applicants must meet King's English Language Proficiency Requirement: IELTS Academic overall 6.5 with a minimum of 5.5 on each band, or TOEFL iBT overall 88 with a minimum of 21 on each section (PTE 59, CAEL 70, or Duolingo 115 overall/95 per section also accepted), unless exempted by three years of full-time English-medium study.
Application Details
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants to The King's University apply directly to the university: for Fall 2026 entry applications opened October 1, 2025 with a regular deadline of June 15, 2026 and a document deadline of September 30, 2026, while Winter 2027 entry opened February 1, 2026 with a regular deadline of December 2, 2026 and a document deadline of January 30, 2027. International applicants follow the same intakes but with an early, reduced-fee deadline ahead of the regular one - April 15, 2027 for Fall 2027 and October 16, 2026 for Winter 2027 - to allow time for study-permit processing, alongside the shared regular deadlines above. King's states it may accept applications after its stated deadlines on inquiry, so admission functions as rolling rather than strictly firm. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
