A Bachelor of Environmental Studies is an undergraduate bachelor's degree awarded for courses taken in the study of environmental studies or related disciplines, such as geography, urban planning, environmental resource studies, or architecture.

In practice, this is essentially equivalent to a Bachelor of Arts degree with a specialty in environmental studies. Relatively few institutions award Bachelor of Environmental Studies degrees, and the distinction between institutions which do award such degrees and those which award B.A. degrees for geography, for example, is usually one of university bureaucracy, rather than curriculum.

The Bachelor of Environmental Studies degree is frequently abbreviated as B.E.S., especially in the use of post-nominals.
