Program details

Overview

This 30-credit certificate provides training in environmental science, offered at the Montreal campus on a full-time or part-time basis with fall and winter admission. Five mandatory courses (15 credits) cover ecology, chemistry, human-environment relations, environmental risks, and environmental law, giving students a common grounding across the scientific, social, and regulatory dimensions of environmental issues. Students then choose five elective courses (15 credits) from a range of environmental specializations, including biodiversity, water resources, industrial environments, and atmospheric science, letting them orient the certificate toward a particular environmental domain of interest. The combination of mandatory breadth and elective specialization is designed to give graduates both a general environmental-science literacy and some depth in a chosen area. The program suits candidates seeking a broad scientific foundation in environmental issues, whether as preparation for further study or as applied training for work in environmental management, monitoring, or policy.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Direct entry is via a DEC or equivalent diploma. Applicants with relevant experience may qualify at age 21 or older with one year of work experience in industry, education, or services, or by demonstrating scientific interest through a motivational letter. Those with prior university study need at least five university courses (15 credits) completed with a minimum academic average of 2.0/4.3. Candidates with a diploma from outside Quebec need at least 13 years of schooling. All candidates must demonstrate satisfactory knowledge of written and spoken French. Admission is offered in the fall and winter trimesters.
