The Environment and Society (Environmental Studies) Diploma at CapU is a great place to start learning more about environmental jobs and building skills to work in an emerging field.
In the diploma, you'll take courses in various subjects, including anthropology, biology, ecology, economics, First Nations and Indigenous Peoples, geography, history, ethics, political science and statistics.
You'll have the advantage of studying in small classes and receiving mentorship from expert instructors who combine theory with practical, applied learning. Work with local partners.
Additionally, you'll have opportunities to join with community partners such as the Átl'ka7tsem/Howe Sound Biosphere region, which works toward ensuring the biodiversity of Howe Sound is protected and sustainable.
With the training and skills you'll gain in this diploma, you'll graduate ready to become an environmental leader. If you're more interested in a STEM-focused program, we also offer the Environmental Sciences Diploma.
