Cert in Certificat en sciences de l'environnement

This multidisciplinary certificate is designed for those already working in environmental fields or seeking a foundation in environmental science. Over 30 credits on the Trois-Rivieres campus, offered full-time or part-time, six required courses cover environmental chemistry, ecology, law, geography, physics and pollution, examining the physical, chemical, biological, geographic and social dimensions of the environment and how they interact; six to nine elective credits are chosen from bioecology, environmental geography, chemistry, administration or environment-society topics, plus up to six complementary credits. Admission follows a Quebec college diploma (DEC) or equivalent with at least one completed course each in biology and chemistry, or an experience-based route requiring a minimum age of twenty-one and at least one year of relevant industry, education or service experience; applicants from outside Quebec need thirteen years of pre-university education with biology and chemistry courses, twelve years plus one university year with prerequisites, or a French baccalaureat with the required science courses. Admission is offered in the fall and winter terms only, and the programme is open to international applicants, who must study full-time.
