Overview

Do you have an interest in protecting land, natural resources and the environment? Do you like hands-on learning in the field and in the lab? If your answer is yes, then our leading-edge Applied Environmental Science and Planning Technology (AESP) Program is a great fit. You’ll acquire interdisciplinary, employment-ready skills to tackle today’s environmental challenges and develop a range of applied environmental skills and technologies.

This program prepares students to meet the growing need for technologists capable of assisting in all areas of land use and environmental planning, environmental chemistry, hydrology, applied ecology, microbiology and geographic information systems (GIS). Graduates possess the practical field and laboratory skills and technical competencies to acquire, compile, analyze, evaluate and present environmental information and to integrate it effectively into formal planning and review processes.

Courses cover a range of topics, including botany, soil science, hydrology, surveying, ecology, fish and wildlife, GIS, ecological restoration, First Nations, air and water pollution chemistry, environmental planning, microbiology and sustainability.

*This program may be eligible for the post-graduation work permit (PGWP).

My journey at Selkirk College didn’t end with graduation—it marked the beginning of an exciting career in the environmental field. Thanks to the knowledge and skills I acquired, I was well-prepared to take on new challenges. I've had the incredible opportunity to work as an environmental technician at a mine in the Yukon.

Accreditation

The AESP Program is nationally accredited through Technology Accreditation Canada (TAC). It is provincially accredited by the College of Applied Biologists.

To help ensure the program is assessed for quality industry outcomes, relevancy and currency, the program is updated continuously based on feedback from our Program Advisory Committee consisting of industry, government, Indigenous representation and past graduates.

Transferability

Many of our graduates seek meaningful, relevant employment while others choose to transfer to universities to complete a degree. The AESP Program transfers to the Bachelor's Degree in Geographic Information Systems (BGIS) here at Selkirk College.

Selkirk College also has direct transfer arrangements with other universities in BC:

Thompson Rivers University (TRU), Bachelor of Natural Resource Science
British Columbia Institute of Technology (BCIT), Bachelor of Science in Ecological Restoration
University of Northern BC, Bachelor of Planning
Royal Roads University, Bachelor of Environmental Science

It is recommended that students consult with the program advisor of the receiving institution to ensure they have met all the necessary transfer requirements.

Common Core

The first year of AESP consists of a core of environmental courses in soils, hydrology, botany, surveying, fish and wildlife, ecology, mapping, communications, computers and math. This core year is common with the Forest Technology and Recreation, Fish & Wildlife programs.

The second year of the program synthesizes the skills, knowledge and professionalism of first year and ladders into planning, sustainability and more advanced environmental science classes.

Activities will be taught which require student participation walking outside for up to 10 hours per day and up to two weeks in duration. Students will be required to hike, snowshoe, etc., for four to eight hours at a time over rough, sometimes hazardous terrain in all weather conditions. Other activities may include touring and observing active industrial operations. Students will be required to observe all required and standard safety practices and procedures at all times.

APPLICATION PROCESS

The Application process is complete and admission to first year will be considered with:

1. Receipt of the "Application for Admission" form plus the required application fee, and;

2. Receipt of official high school and post-secondary education transcript(s) or interim transcript or proof of registration in prerequisite courses (if in Grade 12), and;

3. The date when an applicant's file is complete is the date when all the requirements of a) and b) above have been fulfilled.

CHANGE OF PROGRAM

There is some limited availability for students to change programs in the first year however, the following conditions must be met:

1. Students who want to change programs must apply in writing to the School Chair before January 15th during the first year of their original program.

2. Program changes will only be permitted provided there is space as determined by the School Chair.

3. Students may need to complete prerequisite courses prior to the beginning of the second year.

Graduation and Promotion

In order to receive your credential in your program, you must maintain a minimum GPA of 2.00.

PROMOTION

1. Promotion to Subsequent Semester
Each semester must be completed with a Grade Point Average of 2.00 ("C" average) or better with no more than two grades below a "C" to continue into the next semester. GPA will be based on all grades for courses scheduled for a given year and semester as per the course calendar. All grades below a "C" grade must be raised to a satisfactory level to graduate.
Students not eligible to continue to the next semester must repeat all courses with grades below a "C" prior to proceeding to the next semester.

2. Admission Requirements - Second Year
Normally all first-year courses must be completed with a grade of "C" or better before a student is admitted to the second year of their program. Students in this situation should contact the School Chair.

3. "C-" Grade
Students receiving a final grade of "C-" in the prerequisite course will be required to withdraw from the subsequent course requiring the prerequisite. Students receiving the "C-" grade must re- register in, and successfully complete the course with a "C" grade or better before going on to the subsequent course.

4. "P" Grade

Students receiving a final grade of "P" in a prerequisite course will not be allowed to register in a subsequent course requiring the prerequisite. Students receiving the "P" grade must re- register in, and successfully complete the course with a "C" grade or better before going on to the subsequent course.

5. "F" Grade

A grade of "F" requires re-registering in, and repeating, the entire course. Under normal circumstances and due to changing course content, students receiving an "F" in a course(s) will be required to repeat the course within one year to receive credit. If an "F" grade is received twice in a particular course, the student will not be allowed to repeat the course again and will be required to withdraw from the program.
