Program details
Overview
Trent University's Environmental and Resource Science / Studies program is accredited by the Environmental Careers Organization (ECO) Canada and lets students choose between a Bachelor of Arts in Environmental and Resource Studies, which explores environmental law, planning, policy, and business, or a Bachelor of Science in Environmental and Resource Science, which builds scientific understanding and industry-level competencies. Students can also combine either stream with a joint major from more than 30 other honours degree programs at Trent. Delivered on the Peterborough campus, the program does not offer a co-op stream, but includes fieldwork opportunities in Trent's network of nature areas and with local communities, along with undergraduate research projects that can be pursued in natural, social, cultural, political, or humanitarian contexts. Study-abroad research placements, including in Iceland and the UK, and involvement in campus sustainability initiatives such as on-campus gardens, supplement the coursework. Faculty affiliated with the Trent School of the Environment include Canada Research Chairs working in areas such as climate change and ecology. Students in the honours B.Sc. stream can pursue an accelerated route into Trent's M.Sc. in Environmental and Life Sciences, completing it in as little as 12 to 20 months after graduation.
