Program overview

What College of the Rockies says about their program:
"The Environmental Studies certificate is designed to allow you a degree of autonomy in your course selection. You will take a specific number of courses that deal with the environment along with options from a variety of subjects including geography, geology, anthropology and sociology.


This program is delivered in the classroom although a number of courses are also available online. Completion of the certificate may help you find employment in entry-level jobs or to move into further education to become more specialized. We have transfer agreements with a number of Canadian universities. We recommend working with an Education Advisor when choosing courses for future transfer."
