Environmental and Resource Science & Studies

The Environmental and Resource Studies/ Science (ERS) Program originated at Trent University in 1974 as one of the first Canadian university environmental programs. 

Choose to complete a BA degree and explore topics in environmental law, environmental policy and management, or business and the environment. With the BSc, you’ll obtain an advanced scientific understanding of the environment, diving into everything from biomonitoring to toxicology to restoration ecology.
