The Associate of Science (ASc) Degree in Environmental Science offers students cross-disciplinary studies related to local and global environmental issues. The ASc in Environmental Science will prepare students for further study in the Environmental Sciences and provide a foundation for lifelong career success in this field.

The curriculum’s mixture of practical and theoretical approaches prepares students for employment in the growing fields of environmental monitoring, ecological restoration, and conservation services. These fields have high employment prospects now and in the future in the College’s geographic region.

For students intending to pursue a Bachelor of Science degree at other institutions, the ASc in Environmental Science program will facilitate transfer into the third year of a four-year degree program (120 credits) in the Environmental Sciences. Courses in the ASc in Environmental Science program can also be applied towards professional designations including Professional Geoscientist (P.Geo), Professional Biologist (R.P.Bio) and Registered Agrologist (P.Ag).
