ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE
BACHELOR OF SCIENCE
B.Sc. or B.Sc.(Hons.)
The mother of all field trips – our
environmental science program has opened
doors for students to study climate change in the
Arctic and marine environments in Australia – just to
name a couple. But if you prefer the comforts of
home... stay closer to Grenfell Campus and participate
in a field course at the Bonne Bay Marine Station in
Gros Morne National Park. Our campus is not far from
wetlands, boreal forest, the ocean, river systems and
sub-Arctic tundra.

ROLL UP YOUR SLEEVES AND
GET YOUR HANDS DIRTY.
The environment is your laboratory. Our faculty will
encourage you to get involved in the research they are
conducting – everything from the breakdown of pesticides
in the environment to the impact of the forest industry
on our region’s songbird population.
As a graduate of this program, you may be employed
as a science technologist or field scientist. Or continue
your studies in graduate school or a professional field
such as environmental law, business administration,
library science or medicine.
