Environmental Science

GENERAL INFORMATION:
  • Degree/Diploma: Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.)
  • Duration (years): 5
  • Name of Contact Person: Dr. Brian B. Christie
  • Position of Contact Person: Executive Director, Office of Institutional Affair

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:
Environmental Science applies the findings and principles from all disciplines of science to questions and problems involving the environment of our planet, its oceans, atmosphere, and biosphere. Environmental science is therefore extremely broad and interdisciplinary. Dalhousie believes that the importance of environmental science in the undergraduate curriculum requires it to be taught in the relevant classes of all disciplines (i.e. "across the curriculum"). For this reason, rather than offer environmental science as a separate degree program, Dalhousie offers it as an integral part of the existing basic disciplines. Those interested in environmental science as a career are strongly advised to obtain a good grounding in the basic sciences by concentrating their field of study in one subject in order to obtain a major or honours B.Sc. in that discipline.

Environmental Studies

GENERAL INFORMATION:
  • Degree/Diploma: Master of Environmental Studies (M.E.S.)
  • Duration (years): 2
  • Name of Contact Person: Dr. Brian B. Christie
  • Position of Contact Person: Executive Director, Office of Institutional Affair

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:
The SRES offers graduate education in environmental management, science and policy. The Master of Environmental Studies (M.E.S.) program is a two-year program which includes both course work and a thesis.


RESEARCH:
The School for Resource and Environmental Studies (SRES) grew out of the Institute for Resource and Environmental Studies which was formed in 1973. Work in the school, whether research or teaching, is interdisciplinary, collaborative and responsive to current concerns. Co-operation in fact reaches far beyond Dalhousie to the other universities in Halifax and Nova Scotia, to professionals working in the area and even to partners in other countries. These countries include Indonesia, the Philippines, China, Russia and various Caribbean states. The SRES offers graduate education in environmental management, science and policy. Contact the Faculty of Graduate studies for further details.
