Environmental Sciences
Go beyond the classroom and into forests, grasslands, wetlands, oil leases, parkland and prairie with environmental sciences at Lakeland.
Prepare for more than a job. Gain career skills in restoration, reclamation, monitoring, management, protection and conservation.
Graduate ready to make a difference with the experience and knowledge needed to succeed.
Hands-on in the field
What sets Lakeland apart is how much time you spend in the field. It starts on your first day here. Be prepared with your own pruning shears, we'll supply binoculars and hip waders.
You will find yourself:
- classifying soil on Lakeland College land
- counting or assessing plants in the Vermilion Provincial Park
- taking measurements at a nearby creek or river
- visiting a reclaimed site
Whether you’re preparing to start your environmental studies or want to further them, you have options with Lakeland.
Get your feet wet
Our certificate is a great place to start getting to know more about environmental jobs and build skills. You'll probably decide to stay on another year and take one of our majors.
Choose a diploma major
Lakeland's 2-year environmental sciences diploma has four majors. That means you have four options for what area you'd like to specialize in your study and work. You could even stay for a third year for a double major.
Go further with a degree
Our applied science degree in environmental management builds upon your credential and includes an 8-month practicum, where you'll gain employable skills and experience.
