Co-op, Minors, Certificates and Engineering Concurrent Programs for Students

Co-operative Education Program (Science Co-op) in Environmental Science

Co-op Academic Advisor:  Dr. Tarah Wright (tarah.wright@dal.ca)

The Science Co-op degree option enables students to apply their academic knowledge directly while providing them with work experience that assists in making educated career choices. Science Co-op is available to students in BSc (120 credit hour) Honours or Major programs in Environmental Science, or in Combined Honours or Double Major programs with Environmental Science as the primary subject. Further information details on Science Co-op can be found in the academic calendar under Work-Integrated Learning & Co-operative Education and the Co-op office’s website at dal.ca/wil For more information on Co-op Education in Environmental Science, please see www.dal.ca/environment.

Minors available to students in Environmental Science

Minor programs allow students to develop subject specialties in addition to their major or honours subjects. Minors in other subjects are normally added to 120 credit hour BSc or BA programs (including Science Co-op).

Students in a BSc or BA (120 credit hour) program in Environmental Science may choose to include a Minor selected from the list of approved Minors. Courses counted toward a Major or Honours subject cannot be used to fulfill the requirements of a Minor program.

Certificates

In combination with a BSc or BA in Environmental Science, students may obtain one or more Certificates. A Certificate indicates that a student has achieved a certain level of proficiency in a given area or subspecialty. Courses counted toward a Major, Honours or Minor subject may also be used to fulfill the requirements of a Certificate. Students must apply to the Certificate Coordinator to be considered for a Certificate. Certificates are awarded upon graduation and are noted on the student’s academic transcript.

A complete list of Faculty of Science Certificates and requirements can be found at the beginning of the Faculty of Science section. Students may also work toward obtaining Certificates offered by other Faculties; some of these are listed in the College of Arts and Science Degree Requirements.

Certificates of particular interest to student enrolled in a BSc or BA in Environmental Science include:
