The School of Science and the Environment offers the Bachelor of Environment and Sustainability with Majors in Environmental Studies or Resource Management and the Bachelor of Science with Majors in Computational Mathematics, Environmental Science, General Science, and Physics general degrees.

A Bachelor of Science (Honours) degree is available in Environmental Science.

Minors are available in Economics, Environment and Sustainability, Environmental Science, Environmental Science Biology, Environmental Science Chemistry, Geography, Mathematics, Physics, and Science. Students for the Bachelor of Science degree offered by the School of Science and the Environment may complete a minor offered by the School of Science and the Environment, the School of Arts and Social Science, or the School of Fine Arts. See Table 19 Minor Programs Offered by the School of Arts and Social Science, Table 5 Minor Program Offered by the School of Fine Arts, and Table 10 Minor Programs Offered by the School of Science and the Environment.

Articulation agreements have been established with the College of the North Atlantic for students who have completed the Two-Year Fish and Wildlife Technician Diploma Program and the Two-Year Forest Resources Technician Diploma Program who wish to obtain the Bachelor of Environment and Sustainability degree.

Students previously admitted to the Bachelor of Arts, Major in Environmental Studies program and the Bachelor of Resource Management, Major in Sustainable Resource Management program must complete all program requirements by June 2021. Students currently completing the requirements of either of these programs must follow the Calendar regulations for the academic year in which they were admitted to the Major. Memorial University of Newfoundland calendars by academic year can be read at www.mun.ca/regoff/calendar.php.

Students completing the Bachelor of Environment and Sustainability or Bachelor of Science degree programs offered by the School of Science and the Environment must also complete the School of Science and the Environment Core Program Requirements comprised of 24 credit hours.

• The 120 credit hour, 40 course Bachelor of Environment and Sustainability with specialization in Environmental Studies or Resource Management program may be completed on a full or part-time basis as set out under Table 1 Bachelor of Environment and Sustainability with Majors in Environmental Studies or Resource Management.

• A student must complete Core Program Requirements as outlined under School of Science and the Environment Core Program Requirements.

• The program consists of a common set of courses which provides an interdisciplinary understanding of environmental studies and resource management issues within the context of the physical, social and economic environments and two sets of courses that provide specialized training in either Environmental Studies or Resource Management.
