What does the future hold regarding global warming, air and water pollution, human population growth and loss of biological diversity? How can a scientific perspective improve our understanding of these and other environmental issues? The Environmental Science program allows you to explore the issues that affect us locally and globally.

Because the issues involved are often complex and multi-faceted, Environmental Science requires an interdisciplinary approach. Students complete courses in a variety of science disciplines like Biology, Geology and Chemistry but also take courses in the Arts, Humanities, Social Sciences and Business. In your program, you may explore subjects as diverse as Environmental Geology, Urban Ecology, Environmental Ethics and Marine Biology. All students in the program take core courses in Environmental Science that are taught with an interdisciplinary approach.

Douglas College offers the specialized Associate in Science Degree as one of the university transfer programs in the Faculty of Science and Technology. After successfully graduating from this program, you can transfer into third-year degree studies at universities such as SFU, UBC, the University of Victoria and many other institutions in Western Canada.
