College Diploma - Environmental Technician - Fast Track (4221)

Program Description The Environmental Technician (Fast-Track) program allows qualified college or university graduates to gain direct admission into Year 2 (Semester 3) of the two-year program to receive their Technician diploma in one year (two semesters).

This program will prepare students for work in the growing environmental technology field by covering the three foundational disciplines of biology, chemistry and civil engineering, and teaching them to understand and manage complex environmental problems. The technology program will include hands-on training as students will learn to use the tools and equipment needed in water and soil quality analysis, ecological field sampling, analytical chemistry and surveying.

The unique combination of technical skills will greatly increase students' career options once they graduate from the Environmental Technician program, which has received the President's Academic Program Recognition awards for Quality of the Learning Experience and for Outstanding Graduate Satisfaction.
