Environmental Sciences is the application of scientific knowledge from many disciplines to issues relating to the sustainability of resource use, the increase in human population, the degradation of the environment caused by pollution and disturbance, the endangerment and extinction of species and natural systems.

The Environmental Sciences program from University of British Columbia is interdisciplinary and is designed to give students a strong foundational science background.

It concentrates on understanding the major environmental issues facing human societies and adopts an integrative cross-disciplinary approach to the study of these issues.

Students supplement course classes with electives in a broad range of earth and ocean sciences fields depending on their area of concentration.
