Preserve the Environment Make the forests, mountaintops and ?elds your future workplace by building on your environmental sciences diploma in the Bachelor of Ecosystem Management degree program. Designed with input from environmental industry partners and delivered through two program streams, the degree prepares you for work in either environmental management and restoration or fish and wildlife management. Thanks to a curriculum focused on industry-relevant technical and field skills, the program offers more than the traditional bachelor degree. Integrating applied field and lab skills with theoretical studies, the Ecosystem Management degree culminates in a capstone learning experience that tests your skills in the forests, mountains and fields that will one day be your workplace.
