School of Environmental & Natural Resource Sciences
A Living Wall provides naturally
filtered air & interior green space
Our school is different. There’s no other way to explain it. You’ll get to know other students and faculty by name - from day one. Since our focus is the environment, nature is your classroom. You won’t spend much time pushing a pencil in a lecture hall. You’re more likely to measure a tree, climb one, or study the wildlife that makes the tree their habitat. We are recognized as one of Canada’s leading schools for careers in environmental and natural resource sciences.
- Active, outdoor, hands-on learning
- Field trips, field schools and applied projects
- Faculty who are experts in their fields
- Exclusive programs to prepare you for careers in the fast growing environmental sector
- More grads working in these fields than any other college in Canada = strong network for employment opportunities
