Environmental Management

The Environmental Management (EMP) program explores unique Canadian problems within a global perspective. The student learns systems, tools and strategies, risk management techniques and legal requirements for the assessment and management of air, water, land and waste. Throughout the program, the focus is on the need for sustainable development and market-driven solutions.

This program explores both theory and practice, which allows students to gain an appreciation of the complexity of designing environmental strategies in the presence of diverse, and competing stakeholder interests. Case studies from environmental practice and current newspaper articles will provide the content and context for discussion.

The goal of the program is to produce well-trained environmental practitioners who can effectively implement and manage programs directed at limiting environmental impacts and restoring degraded environments. The program provides an interdisciplinary approach to environmental management of air, land, water and waste.

Students will choose seven courses to complete the program. All courses are theory based and delivered online.
