Program details

Overview

The Bachelor of Science in Environmental Sciences at the University of Winnipeg is offered in a four-year format with an Honours option, housed in the Department of Environmental Studies and Sciences within the Faculty of Science. Students choose among four streams: Forest Ecology, Forest Policy and Management, Chemistry, and Global Environmental Systems, with the Chemistry stream specifically requiring Pre-Calculus Mathematics 40S. General admission also expects Chemistry 40S and either Pre-Calculus Mathematics 40S or Applied Mathematics 40S. The program includes field courses and opportunities to work as a research assistant, and some students have presented at academic conferences. Delivery is on the Winnipeg campus. The program describes its approach as interdisciplinary and sustainability-focused, aiming to give students an integrated understanding of environmental systems and problems. It suits students interested in applied environmental science who want to combine fieldwork with coursework in a specific stream, whether their focus is ecological, policy-oriented, chemical, or systems-based. The range of streams allows students to align their degree with either a natural-science research direction or a more policy- and management-oriented environmental career path.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: In addition to The University of Winnipeg's general admission requirements, applicants must have Chemistry 40S and either Pre-Calculus Mathematics 40S or Applied Mathematics 40S; Pre-Calculus Mathematics 40S is required for the Chemistry stream. Applicants whose first language is not English, and who are not from an English-exempt country, must meet the university's English proficiency requirement, set out on The University of Winnipeg's own admission requirements page: IELTS Academic 6.5 overall; TOEFL iBT 4.5 overall with no component below 4.0 for tests taken on or after January 21, 2026 (86 overall with no component below 20 for tests taken before that date); Duolingo English Test 120; Pearson PTE Academic 58; CAEL 60 (CAEL online 70); LanguageCert Academic 67; or Cambridge C1 Advanced/C2 Proficiency 180, with results no more than two years old. International applicants apply online through the university's application portal and pay a non-refundable CAD $120 application fee, with official transcripts sent directly from the issuing institution to the Admissions Office; recommended international deadlines are June 15 for Fall (September), October 15 for Winter (January), and February 15 for Spring (May), and applying three to four months ahead is encouraged to allow time for study-permit processing.

Application Details

Start Date: September, January and May
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.
