Description

The Environmental Applied Science Technology program teaches students scientific theory in classes such as environmental microbiology, soil science, air quality, and environmental chemistry. They will apply these theories working in rivers, streams and water treatment facilities. Students will collect and analyze water and soil samples and compare results from previous years to monitor environmental health. By the time they graduate, student will be qualified to work as an environmental technician, or they may continue their education to earn a B.Sc. through one of the program’s degree pathways.

Students spend three days with the Southeast Environmental Association monitoring river and stream health. The Environmental Applied Science Technology program is accredited by the Canadian Technology Accreditation Board (CTAB) of the Canadian Council of Technicians and Technologists (Technician level). CTAB accredited programs provide International Mobility rights under the International Engineering Alliance (IEA) through the Sydney and Dublin Accords.
