11 Bachelor Programs in Ecological Science 2024

The BSc in Environmental Management explores the physical, social, economic, and cultural aspects of environmental management. It combines aspects of science, geography, and environmental planning with an environmental work placement to understand the environmental systems in which we live and work.

Water is one of the most important substances on Earth. It is essential to many of the things we need and enjoy in life: food, transport, and recreation, but managing it can also pose some serious challenges. Around the world, water managers contend with droughts, floods, sea-level rise, overfishing, pollution, plastic soup, and many other risks to both our natural environment and our society. We need water managers to safeguard our future!

In this joint degree/diploma with Fleming College, students develop a specialized set of skills and knowledge in ecological rehabilitation. You’ll spend the first two years at Fleming College’s School of Environmental and Natural Resource Sciences in Lindsay, practising restoration in field work and applied courses.

Discover more about the relationship between people, the environment and other organisms, the impacts of humans on biodiversity and the environment, and how we can live more sustainably.Learn about Indigenous relationships with country and how this knowledge and perspective can be incorporated into natural resource management.Learn the scientific and ecological theory underpinning land management and biodiversity conservation.Explore types of ecological and biophysical data, sampling organisms and the environment and the design of ecological experiments.

The purpose of the programme is to provide students with a firm grounding in the environmental sciences from which they can start to specialise in integrative environmental science with ecology, or geography with GIS or water management.

BioResource Research (BRR) is an interdisciplinary biosciences major centered around student research. Students take science core courses, complete an option in the FANH (Food, Agriculture, Natural resources, and Human) sciences, and do a research project of their choice under the guidance of a faculty mentor. Nearly 100% of BRR graduates have found jobs or been admitted to graduate or professional schools within three months of graduating.

NNU's Wildlife Biology and Ecology (Bachelor of Science) degree offers students specific knowledge and skills that will prepare them to conduct scientific research in the fields of biodiversity conservation, wildlife management, or other ecological specialties or to pursue graduate school.

Soil and Water Sciences involves managing land and water resources across a wide range of ecosystems, including agricultural, forested, range, urban and wetlands. Soil and Water Sciences students have a strong science and math background and study biology, calculus, microbiology, chemistry, physics, and ecology.

The Aaniiih Nakoda Ecology program is designed to prepare graduates to become effective caretakers and stewards of the place they call home – the Fort Belknap Indian Reservation and the surrounding prairies, river bottoms, and island mountain ranges of northcentral Montana.

All COA students study human ecology, the investigation of the relations between humans and their environments.

(Understanding the oceans) studies different ecosystems for aquatic organisms in the oceans, rivers and lakes of the world, including chemical analysis of water composition and the impacts of waves and water flows.
