Program details
Overview
This Bachelor of Environmental Studies examines the social, institutional, political, and legal dimensions of environmental issues, including human population pressures, sustainable resource development, pollution, and conservation. Housed in the Clayton H. Riddell Faculty of Environment, Earth, and Resources, it is offered at Honours and Major levels (four years, one hundred twenty credit hours each), a General level (three years, ninety credit hours), and a Minor (eighteen credit hours), with an optional cooperative education stream and delivery at the Fort Garry campus. Students choose from thirteen focus areas, including natural resource management, conservation and biodiversity, and environmental health, and have access to field courses and the Centre for Earth Observation Science. Coursework builds skills in communication, program development, and policy analysis rather than laboratory or field science technique. The program suits students aiming toward environmental policy, consulting, government, or nonprofit-sector careers, distinguishing it from the university's more scientifically oriented Environmental Science degree.

Application Details
Start Date:September
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants (Canadian citizens and permanent residents) apply directly to the University of Manitoba. As of this September 2026 fetch, the Direct Entry deadlines page shows only the Fall 2026 cycle in full - University 1 and the Diploma in Agriculture at May 1, 2026 domestic / March 1, 2026 international, other Direct Entry programs at March 1, 2026 - a cycle that has already closed, alongside minor Winter 2027 (Dec 1, 2026) and Summer 2027 (Apr 1, 2027) intake deadlines. No Fall 2027 Direct Entry deadline has been published yet, so specific 2027 dates cannot be stated for the university's main intake. The Bachelor of Music and Bachelor of Jazz Studies deadline (January 15, applying equally to domestic and international applicants) is likewise confirmed only for the 2026-27 cycle, also closed, with no 2027-28 bulletin posted. These are described as fixed deadlines rather than rolling admission, and the university opens each new cycle's applications on October 1. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
