Program details
Overview
Resource & Environmental Studies at the University of Regina is a Bachelor of Arts offered jointly with Saskatchewan Polytechnic and First Nations University of Canada, structured for students who have completed, or are completing, a relevant diploma at Saskatchewan Polytechnic's Prince Albert or Woodland campuses. Students transfer credit from their diploma toward the degree and complete the remaining coursework at the University of Regina. The curriculum covers resource and environmental legislation, resource management, and contemporary environmental issues, with particular attention to community health and Indigenous perspectives, including topics such as ecological justice, Indigenous economic systems, environmental impact assessment, and land management. The program is designed as a pathway degree that builds directly on technical diploma training rather than starting from a general first-year arts curriculum. It suits students who have already gained applied environmental or resource-management training through a polytechnic diploma and want to add a university-level Bachelor of Arts focused on environmental stewardship and Indigenous-centred approaches to resource issues. Graduates pursue roles such as conservation officer, environmental consultant, forestry specialist, and wildlife officer, combining their earlier technical training with the broader policy and legislative grounding this degree provides.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Admission to Resource & Environmental Studies has a distinct gate stated on the program page itself: completion of the Saskatchewan Polytechnic, Prince Albert Campus, Resource and Environmental Law Diploma, or Saskatchewan Polytechnic's Integrated Resource Management Diploma, is required for admission to this program. Beyond that diploma prerequisite, the page directs applicants to select their student type and consult the Faculty of Arts application guide for general requirements. Under the University of Regina's general high-school assessment, the Faculty of Arts sets its early conditional admission average at 70% for Fall 2027 entry. International undergraduate applicants pay a $100 CAD application fee and, unless exempt, must show English proficiency: IELTS Academic overall 6.5 with no band below 6.0, TOEFL iBT overall 83, PTE Academic 59, CAEL 60, or Duolingo English Test 120.
Application Details
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants to the University of Regina apply for Fall 2027 entry with a recommended early deadline of 15 March 2027 for best course selection and a final new-applicant deadline of 15 August 2027; Winter 2027-28 entry has an early deadline of 1 November 2026 and a final deadline of 15 December 2026, and Spring/Summer 2027 entry closes 15 April 2027. International (study-permit) applicants share the same final deadlines as domestic students for each term but have no separate early deadline. Numerous named programs, including Nursing, Social Work, Bachelor of Indigenous Social Work, Indigenous Fine Arts and Indigenous Education, carry their own earlier deadlines instead of the general dates. Admission is not described as rolling; late non-competitive applications are simply carried to the next term the program accepts. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
