Environmental Studies

Note: As of the Fall (September) Semester 2025 intake, applications for admission to the Citation in Environmental Studies have been suspended until further notice.

Environmental Studies is an interdisciplinary program offering students the opportunity to obtain a solid grasp of the physical principles governing the form and function of the Earth and the social aspects affecting the nature of human impact on the environment. Program participants will also gain critical thinking skills, analytical ability, a deeper understanding of environmental issues, and a sense of local and global awareness, preparing them to address complex environmental issues.

All courses have university-transfer credit providing students with the option of further study should they wish to obtain a university degree in environmental studies or other arts and science disciplines. Block transfer agreements with BC universities allow entry into the third year of certain programs.

The Citation in Environmental Studies is designed for students who have completed a number of courses relating to environmental issues while pursuing a diploma, associate degree, or bachelor's degree in another subject area.

Students must complete at least five of the following courses, with a maximum of two courses in any one subject area.
