Program details
Overview
This program combines environmental science coursework at The University of Winnipeg with technical training at Red River College Polytechnic, leading to a joint credential: a four-year Bachelor of Science from the University and an Environmental Engineering Technology Diploma from RRC Polytech. Over five years, students spend their first two years and final year at the University and the third and fourth years at RRC Polytech. Coursework covers environmental chemistry, soil and groundwater analysis, water treatment systems, and the interaction between human activity and the environment. The program includes a six-month paid co-op work term with placement support, giving students applied experience before graduation. It suits students aiming for technical and scientific roles in environmental testing, waste management, water treatment, food processing, pharmaceutical, or government laboratory settings, and graduates may pursue certification through the Certified Technicians and Technologists Association of Manitoba. The combined academic and technical training is intended to prepare students for both industry and government employer expectations in environmental science fields.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Direct entry from Manitoba high school. In addition to The University of Winnipeg's general admission requirements, Applied Environmental Science requires Chemistry 40S and either Pre-Calculus Mathematics 40S or Applied Mathematics 40S. The program is delivered jointly with RRC Polytech: students complete years one, two and five at UWinnipeg and years three and four at RRC Polytech, so admission to UWinnipeg is followed by a separate application to RRC Polytech (by March 1) once 60 credit hours are complete, plus an application fee at both institutions. The programme page states no language-test score of its own; applicants whose first language is not English must instead meet UWinnipeg's institution-wide English proficiency requirement, satisfied through IELTS Academic 6.5 overall, TOEFL iBT 4.5 overall with no component below 4.0 (86 overall/20 per component for tests before January 21, 2026), Duolingo English Test 120, or PTE Academic 58, among the university's other accepted tests.
Application Details
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants (Canadian citizens, permanent residents and refugees) apply directly to the University of Winnipeg: for the Faculties of Arts, Business and Economics, Kinesiology and Science the suggested deadline is July 2 for Fall (September) entry, November 1 for Winter (January) entry and March 1 for Spring (May) entry; the Faculty of Education recommends March 1 for high-school and mature applicants, with a final deadline of June 1 subject to space. International applicants are advised to apply by June 15 (Fall, shown on the live page as an 'extended' deadline), October 15 (Winter) or February 15 (Spring). All of these are suggested rather than firm cut-offs: late applications may still be considered, and admission runs on an effectively rolling basis until a term is full. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
