Program overview
A four year interdisciplinary degree combining environmental science with the social, policy and ethical dimensions of environmental issues, covering ecology, environmental policy, sustainability and research methods.
Entry sits at a higher academic bar than most undergraduate programmes here, reflecting the demands of a genuinely interdisciplinary degree. Cape Breton offers coastal ecosystems, post industrial land remediation sites and active resource management debates within easy reach, which turns the coursework into fieldwork.
No CIP code check applies to Bachelor of Arts and Science in Environment, because the field of study requirement covers non degree credentials rather than degrees.

Every work permit decision rests with Canadian immigration authorities, and Apply Study Visa confirms the position for Bachelor of Arts and Science in Environment in writing before you pay any deposit.
