Honours Environmental Science, Water Science Specialization is available in both systems of study: regular and co-operative.
The specialization is designed to provide students with the skills and knowledge to address global challenges relating to water, including scarcity, quality, and management. This unique plan takes an integrative approach by combining earth sciences and the physical, chemical, biological, and management aspects of water to provide students with the breadth of knowledge required to meet multidisciplinary challenges. Graduates will be prepared for employment in areas relating to water science including environmental concerns and water source management.
Continuing in Honours Environmental Science, Water Science Specialization (regular and co-op) requires a minimum cumulative overall average of 60% and a minimum cumulative Science average of 60%.
