Program details
Overview
This program awards a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science from the University of Calgary's Faculty of Science, delivered on campus. It takes a multidisciplinary approach to understanding natural and human-driven environmental change, with learning centred on actively working through problems in the field, supplemented by laboratory and classroom instruction; the curriculum includes dedicated field courses. Students develop skills in data collection and analysis, written and oral communication, and team-based collaboration. Early coursework includes energy flow in biological systems, general chemistry covering structure and bonding, and introductory calculus. The program suits students who want field-based experience alongside laboratory and analytical training. Career paths mentioned include environmental assessment and industry consulting roles in the public sector, and the degree also serves as a stepping-stone to graduate study or to professional programs in law, medicine, veterinary medicine, or architecture. Admission requires English Language Arts and Math 30-1 along with one approved science course, with specific requirements varying by education system.
