环境与地理学系提供各种课程，重点是人类与自然环境的交汇处。为了完全理解人与环境的相互作用，人们需要了解自然界的科学，以及人类对环境的影响，无论是在本地，区域还是全球范围内。我们必须了解环境的变化方式和原因。全球变暖，酸沉淀，臭氧消耗，废物管理和节水是需要彻底审查的问题，或者需要政府，工业界和非政府组织的领导人实施适当的决策程序。我们仔细，系统地检查环境的各个方面，以便我们的毕业生可以在环境的未来中发挥重要作用。
The Department of Environment, Agriculture and Geography offers a wide variety of courses focusing on the intersection of humans and the natural environment. In order for a complete understanding human-environment interactions, people need to understand the science of the natural world, and the impacts humans are having on their environment, whether they be at a local, regional or global scale. We must understand how and why the environment is changing. Global warming, acid precipitation, ozone depletion, waste management and water conservation are issues that require thorough examination and, ultimately, proper decision-making by leaders in government, industry and non-governmental organizations. We carefully and systematically examine all aspects of the environment so that our graduates can play an important role in the future of our environment. Bishop’s location in the midst of an area of great economic, cultural and physical diversity provides many opportunities for students to take part in practical fieldwork and applied projects. Such studies are integral parts of several courses, especially those relating to elements of physical geography and human impacts on the environment.
