BA/BS in Environmental Earth Sciences is a bachelor's degree in Environmental Sciences programme taught at University of Alberta in Edmonton, Canada. Tuition is CAD 729 per credit for local students.
This Bachelor of Science major examines how human behaviour and activity affect the environment, both globally and locally, with particular emphasis on global warming and related environmental concerns. It is offered through the Faculty of Science and is also available as a BSc Honors degree. The degree is described as highly customizable: students can add an optional minor, chosen from more than 60 subjects across faculties including Arts, Native Studies, Business, and Agricultural, Life and Environmental Sciences, or pursue a double major, and can either keep the program broad or specialize in a chosen discipline. Alberta high-school applicants need English Language Arts 30-1, Mathematics 30-1, two courses from Computing Science, Biology 30, Chemistry 30, Mathematics 31, or Physics 30, and one elective from Fine Arts, Humanities, Languages, or Math/Sciences. The page lists biologist, ecologist, hydrologist, meteorologist, soil scientist, environmental health officer, conservationist, and research scientist among possible career paths, suiting students focused on environmental and earth-systems science.
Requirements
Minimum GPA:70.00 / %
Admission Requirements: Direct entry from high school into the BSc Major program. The Faculty of Science requires a minimum application average of 70% across the 5 required Grade 12 admission subjects; admission is competitive and the Faculty's three-year admission-average trend is low 80s to mid 90s — meeting the minimum does not guarantee a seat. This major additionally requires Biology 30, Chemistry 30, and Physics 20 (or equivalent) as prerequisites to register in program courses and ensure success.
Application Details
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants apply directly to the University of Alberta, not through a provincial service: for Fall 2027 entry the application window opens 1 October 2026 and the deadline for most programmes is 1 March 2027, though several limited-enrolment programmes close earlier (Juris Doctor, 1 December 2026; Dental Hygiene, 1 November 2026) or later (Bachelor of Design and BFA programmes, 1 May 2027); Spring and Summer 2027 admission also opens 1 October 2026, while Winter intake is limited to a few programmes. International applicants use the identical published dates and online application; the university states no separate international closing date. The 1 March deadline is firm and late applications are not accepted, but admission decisions are then issued on a rolling basis, and offers made before 1 April must be accepted by 1 May 2027. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
