Aquatic Resources

AR students develop a keen understanding of topics that impact our planet, such as water resource issues, conservation, fisheries, climate change, global warming, desertification, environmental stewardship, aquaculture, among others. AR students are well-positioned to understand global resources issues, especially those involving water that occur between countries, cultures, cities and rural communities, and between regions within countries.Students majoring in Aquatic Resources may complete a BACHELOR of ARTS or a BACHELOR of SCIENCE degree. The program offers a core set of courses, only available to AR major students, that provide a broad background in water-related topics ranging from freshwater and marine ecosystem resource management to environmental policy development and groundwater research methods. Key to the success of AR students is a mandatory work term that provides career-related experience, a variety of field trips, guest speakers interactions and other opportunities that enhance academic learning.
