The major in Environmental Management focuses on the development of leaders in the areas of environmental science and technology. The program combines a solid background in environmental science and management with business, using a mix of theoretical and applied study. The flexibility provided in semesters 6 through 8 permits students to develop their understanding of specific areas of environmental science and business or take a variety of areas within the discipline. This flexibility also allows students to participate in international exchanges and study abroad opportunities. Students have the opportunity to incorporate a variety of field trips, experiential learning in the workplace and independent research projects into their program.
A principal aim of the Co-op program in Environmental Management is to facilitate the transition of students from academic studies to a professional career by enhancing the integration of theory and practice.
Students taking the degree may also take a minor in another subject area. A maximum of 2.50 credits required for the BBRM.EM or BBRM.EM:C program may be applied to meet the requirements of a minor. Students should note that completion of a minor may require additional credits beyond the 20.00 required for the program. Students intending to acquire a minor should consult with their Program Counsellor.
The secondary school graduation certificate which would admit a student to an internationally recognized university in his or her home country is normally acceptable for admission to the University of Guelph.
