Program description
This curriculum opens up a wide variety of exciting professional opportunities for those who are deeply concerned about the state of our planet, its atmosphere, and its water supply. As an environmental technologist, your day will begin with fieldwork like tracking, sampling, and surveying. You'll then head back indoors to run your analyses and compile your findings. Your contributions, whether in the form of recommending best practices to organizations or bringing them to account for poor ones, will be critical to protecting the well-being of people and the planet.
Students who have already earned a BSc or another equivalent degree from an accredited institution, either at home or abroad, may apply to participate in this accelerated program. The advanced skills required for employment in the environmental field can be acquired through the many opportunities for hands-on experience and project-based learning offered over the course of the two semesters.
