Program Description

Why study Human Dimensions of Environmental Management?

In this program, you’ll learn how to use collective action, policies, institutions, and management approaches to influence environmental and natural resources issues. You’ll also develop a scientific understanding of environmental change, with a focus on the social context through which environmental issues are addressed.

Why take the BSc in Environmental and Conservation Sciences / Bachelor of Native Studies combined degree?

This five-year program, offered jointly by the Faculty of Agricultural, Life and Environmental Sciences and the Faculty of Native Studies, focuses on Indigenous history, politics, and cultural values, natural resource management, and the stewardship of Indigenous lands, within the context of government policies and industrial development. You’ll also have the opportunity to attend a three-week environmental field school.

Human Dimensions of Environmental Management is the required major for this degree.
