The program in Environmental Science is available at both a BSc and BSc (Honours) level. While the professional practice of environmental science is not (yet) codified, the Acadia program is designed to satisfy proposals for professional registration. It includes a core of courses at the first and second year levels in Biology, Geology and Chemistry, with a central theme of Environmental Science courses that provide a central thread tying the other courses together. Focus areas in the four year program may be designed to address individual needs but can be selected from:
- Land Use Management
- Ecology
- Conservation Biology
- Environmental Geology/Terrain Analysis
- Natural Resource Management
- Environmental Health
- Sustainable Development

The Environmental Geoscience degree curriculum provides a basis for application to the Professional Environmental Geoscientist category. It includes a core of courses at the first and second year level in common with Geology majors, and diverges at the third year level to incorporate courses in geochemistry, geophysics, hydrogeology and environmental science. Outside of the Department of Earth and Environmental Science, students also study first-year Biology courses, Maths, and Physics courses.
