This programme prepares individuals to work in environmental protection by using science and technology to reduce harm from human activity. Study includes pollution monitoring, environmental audits, site assessment, remediation, waste management, and project planning. The curriculum covers ecology, hydrology, atmospheric quality, soil analysis, and technical reporting.

The programme runs for 32 months across five academic semesters and three co-op work terms. Sixty percent of time is spent in classrooms, and 40 percent in labs, fieldwork, and projects. This hands-on approach ensures graduates have job-ready skills. The diploma can be completed, and a bachelor's degree can be pursued with only two more years of study.

Graduates can enter the workforce in roles such as environmental technician, impact analyst, or health and safety technologist. Employers include engineering firms, government agencies, municipalities, and environmental consulting companies. Graduates may also transfer credit to other colleges and universities for further study.
