In the Bachelor of Environment and Society (Environmental Sciences) degree at CapU, you'll gain the skills to make a difference in the environmental workforce.
As climate change and the depletion of natural resources continue to impact the planet, we must seek new directions for our society. A new group of change-makers who understand the value of creating sustainable solutions that benefit humans and their environment are needed.
In the environmental sciences program, you'll spend your first two years taking vital baseline science courses in critical disciplines, including biology, botany, chemistry, computer sciences, ecology, geography, research and statistics.
You'll also take electives in Indigenous and First Nations topics, social sciences and writing before moving into the upper levels of the program.
Train with CapU community partners
Throughout the program, you’ll study in small classes, receiving mentorship from expert instructors who combine theoretical concepts with practical, applied learning.
You'll develop your skills in a program that facilitates the integration of innovation, community partnership, experiential learning, teamwork and leadership.
As a CapU sciences student, you can also take advantage of our deep ties to the local community, participating in experiential learning activities, including lab and fieldwork with community partners like the Átl'ka7tsem/Howe Sound Biosphere region.
Develop strong research skills
As the capstone to your degree, you'll spend your final term working on a project on the topic of environmental sciences of your choice.
