The Environmental Sciences program offers honours and advanced majors in specialties of chemistry, biology, biogeochemistry, and climate & water. A degree in environmental sciences prepares students for graduate studies, to become researchers, as well as for a wide range of careers in environmental consulting, chemical remediation of pollution, climatology, and alternative energy fields.

Experts in this field are located within a number of active research groups on campus. These groups of researchers, working on complex scientific issues ranging from global climate change and sustainable alternative energy programs, to biological species dynamics in a changing environment and chemical contamination and transport, provide a core of faculty offering courses to the Environmental Sciences students.

Students choose a concentration in one of four areas: Biology, Chemistry, Biogeochemistry or Climate & Water.
