The two-year Environmental Science & Technology program provides students with a strong foundation in soils, vegetation, water, wildlife, and agriculture through both theoretical classroom instruction and hands-on lab and field learning. Field trips to various ecosystems and industry sites complement classroom learning, offering students real-world exposure to the subjects they study. Students also gain skills and experience in using the technologies necessary for their future careers, such as geographic information systems, GPS, drones, and water and soil sampling equipment. Additionally, all students have the opportunity to participate in a work-integrated learning experience midway through the program.
