Director's Welcome

Welcome to the School of Environmental Science in the Faculty of Environment at Simon Fraser University!

We are training the next generation of environmental scientists, equipping them with the skills necessary to address significant current and future environmental problems.  Our undergraduate program provides an interdisciplinary education with a solid background in the physical and biological sciences, anchored by core environmental science courses.  Our students can focus on Watershed Science, Coastal and Marine Science, and Applied Biology (accredited with the College of Applied Biologists). Our new graduate programs support students in gaining the knowledge, critical thinking, and research skills necessary for positive environmental change in a broad array of environmental disciplines.  In the School, we commit to diverse, equitable, and inclusive programs that foster a safe and stimulating environment for learning.

The School of Environmental Science is the newest department in the vibrant Faculty of Environment, at Canada’s leading comprehensive university.  Our stellar faculty are committed educators and pursue fundamental and applied research addressing environmental challenges.  Our graduands are engaging in important careers in industry, government, and non-for profits.
