Key Summary
The Clayton H. Riddell Faculty of Environment, Earth, and Resources was established nearly 20 years ago to combine the resources of Earth, Environment, and Resources studies, with a strong focus on research. In addition to the environment, climate change, and resource development, the faculty is focused on geography and geological sciences, as well as environmental science and environmental studies.
Environmental Science is an interdisciplinary program for students who want to develop scientific solutions to environmental problems. Students in this program will develop strong quantitative skills with a grounding in ecological, biological, agricultural, and chemical sciences, depending on core interests.
The Environmental Science degree program is accredited by the Canadian Environmental Accreditation Commission and strives to meet human resource demands for the environmental industry. Students in Environmental Science are prepared for ECO Canada’s Environmental Practitioner (EP) certification.
