1155 Environmental Sciences Degree Programs

Do you have a love for the environment? Do you wonder how the world works? Are you interested in the impact humans are having on the planet? If so, a major in Earth and Environmental Sciences could be right for you! Earth and Environmental Sciences provides an overview of how science affects our environment, focusing on interactions between the solid Earth, its water, its air, and its living organisms, and on dynamic, interdependent relationships between these four components.

Doctoral training at the School of Chemistry and Environmental Sciences aims to educate specialists capable of independent and creative work in key areas of chemistry and environmental science, in line with the needs of a market economy. The programme provides a strong foundation for obtaining a doctoral degree.

The Environmental Sciences and Policy Doctoral Program* provides a unique opportunity to pursue fundamental and applied research to address some of the most urgent environmental challenges in the world. Our graduates emerge from the Program with a broad understanding of diverse approaches to environmental problems, extensive practical research experience, professional networks and analytical and practical thinking skills with a commitment and capacity to addressing environmental challenges.

BA (Honours) in Environmental Studies issues are posing multiple challenges to people and ecosystems across the planet. These challenges can only be addressed effectively if the complex connections between the societal (social, political, economic, cultural, and ethical) and the biophysical (geological, physical, ecological) dimensions of environmental issues are taken seriously.

The B.Sc. Agricultural and Environmental Sciences is offered on McGill University's Macdonald Campus. Students can also explore courses and other opportunities on the Downtown Campus, and pursue field courses and research activities locally and around the world, including field study semesters in Panama, Barbados, and Africa. Students can customize their learning experience by picking one of five different majors (Major in Agricultural Economics, Major in Environmental Biology, Major in Environment, Major in Life Sciences, Major in Sustainable Agricultural Systems) along with multiple specializations, concentrations, and/or minors.    

The MSc/MPhil in Environmental and Energy Sciences promotes research excellence and educates students on the scientific frontiers and advanced methodologies at the vanguard of interconnected issues related to Meteorology and Atmospheric Sciences, Water Sciences, Energy and Sustainability.

The aim of this programme is to train environmental engineers with up-to-date knowledge in natural sciences, earth sciences and engineering, economics and management. One specialisation focuses on identifying and evaluating potential environmental hazards, preventing or reducing their impact and managing damage control projects.

Gain the expertise to protect and sustainably manage natural resources with hands-on computer-based fieldwork skills on our Masters in Environmental Remote Sensing and Geospatial Sciences.

This BSc (Honours) in Environmental Science (Environmental Management) course is a specialist route through our BSc (Honours) Environmental Science (Q52) that focuses on environmental management. It’s an interdisciplinary course that combines aspects of biology, ecology, geography, chemistry, technology, management and social science to help you understand environmental situations from all perspectives.

This qualification is primarily designed to provide a well-rounded, broad education that equips graduates with the knowledge base, theory, and methodology of life and environmental sciences.

Do you have a love for the environment? Do you wonder how the world works? Are you interested in the impact humans are having on the planet, and want to teach earth science to high school students? If so, a major in Environmental Studies, Secondary Teaching Option, could be right for you! Environmental Studies provides an overview of how science affects our environment, focusing on interactions between the solid Earth, its water, its air, and its living organisms, and on dynamic, interdependent relationships between these four components.

The International PhD Program in Agricultural and Environmental Sciences of the Department of Agriculture, Food, Environment and Forestry (DAGRI) combines expertise from many disciplines in the agro-environmental field aimed at training researchers, enabling them to carry out qualified scientific activities in the field of plant and animal production, considering also aspects of eco-sustainability, climate change and recovery of polluted and degraded areas in order to restore their agricultural cultivation capabilities.

Gain practical skills in environmental science & sustainability with our MSc. Learn impact assessment, data analysis, and environmental monitoring across land, water & air. Study in-person or remotely, full-time or part-time. Tailor your studies for careers in sustainability, research, or industry.

Explore the science of life and the environment with our interdisciplinary Bachelor's program in Ecology and Environmental Studies. Investigate the complex interactions between organisms and their surroundings through hands-on fieldwork, laboratory research, and real-world ecological projects.
