Canadian StudentsView Curriculum
If you are looking for a challenge, are passionate about the environment and want to be a leader, then this program is for you.
The third year of Ecosystem Management Technology begins with a mandatory four-day field camp in a remote wilderness setting. This experience offers both personal challenge and the opportunity to build effective working relationships with your classmates - essential preparation for the year ahead.
You will participate in a variety of applied learning experiences. This includes a unique placement program - Credit for Product - in which you will spend one day per week working with a team on a project for an external agency. Students in the program also host an annual EcoHealth conference, inviting the public, local area residents, community groups and businesses to attend, participate and learn.
If you are interested in continuing your education once you complete the program, we offer a number of transfer agreements with top universities. Alternatively, if you are a university student looking for a program to complement your degree and provide you with a more applied approach to learning, then this program will meet your needs.
Please note, as part of the program, you will attend the Annual National Council for Science and the Environment Conference in Washington D.C. A current passport for this activity is required.
In the fall and winter semesters, you will work in a small team for an external agency one day per week during the Credit for Product student placement program. It's a great opportunity to expand your network of employment contacts and gain valuable on-the-job experience. Our partners in this placement program include agencies like the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters, conservation authorities, provincial stewardship councils, the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources, local schools, community groups, and many more.
The Indigenous Perspectives Designation (IPD) is an option available to students studying in this program. To qualify for the IPD, students must take and successfully complete GNED49 - Introduction to Indigenous Studies and GNED128 - Indigenous Knowledges, along with a minimum of four approved co-curricular Indigenous events or experiences that will be incorporated into the final portfolio assignment in GNED128. Upon graduation, your transcript will indicate the IPD designation, which will be highly marketable in the employment sector.
