该计划旨在满足地球科学和环境科学界不断变化的需求，并且可以使学生满足安大略省作为地球科学家的专业认证的学术要求。所有学生都将参加一系列核心课程，这些课程整合了包括化学，生物学，物理和数学在内的基础科学的扎实基础，并具有一系列的地理科学和环境科学技能，包括地理信息系统（GIS），现场工作，实验室分析，遥感和个人技能发展（询问，书面和口头沟通，小组工作，时间管理和计算能力）。学生可以遵循一个基本课程，其中包括地球历史，遥感，野外方法，土壤，环境评估，地表过程，环境地球化学和地表水文学等课程（请参阅课程大纲）。
This program is designed to meet the changing needs of the geoscience and environmental science communities and may allow students to fulfill the academic requirements for professional certification as geoscientists in Ontario. Specific course requirements for courses can be found here: APGO Requirements Environmental Geoscience (pdf).<br><br>All students take a series of core courses that integrate a solid grounding in fundamental sciences including Chemistry, Biology, Physics and Math, with a range of geoscience and environmental science skills including geographic information systems (GIS), fieldwork, laboratory analysis, remote sensing and personal skills development (inquiry, written and oral communication, group work, time management and numeracy).<br><br>Students may follow a basic program which includes courses in earth history, remote sensing, field methods, soils, environmental assessment, earth surface processes, environmental geochemistry and surface water hydrology (see Course Outlines). Students in this program can select a number of elective courses of their choice. Please refer to the program Progress Chart for further details. To maximize the focus of their elective choices, students may choose to focus their selection of elective courses by choosing courses in a specific concentration in upper years
