Program details
Overview
Applied Climate Change and Adaptation is a Bachelor of Science that examines the challenges of a changing climate and the practical responses available to governments, businesses, and communities. The program focuses on climate adaptation: adjusting practices, infrastructure, and planning to cope with changing conditions, and builds skills for developing climate-smart solutions across corporate, non-profit, governmental, and consulting sectors. The first two years are delivered on UPEI's Charlottetown campus, while the final two years, including experiential and core programming, take place at the Canadian Centre for Climate Change and Adaptation in St. Peter's Bay, Prince Edward Island. The four-year program suits students seeking an applied, solutions-focused science degree centred specifically on climate adaptation rather than general environmental science. Entrance scholarship consideration requires applications by March 1.
