Bachelor of Environmental Science

A Bachelor of Environmental Science is an undergraduate bachelor's degree awarded for courses taken in the study of environmental science or related disciplines, such as sustainable resource development, environmental health, or ecological sustainability.

In practice, this is essentially equivalent to a Bachelor of Science degree with a specialty in environmental impacts. Relatively few institutions award Bachelor of Environmental Science degrees. The degree should not be confused with a Bachelor of Environmental Studies, which typically has less of a science focus.

The Bachelor of Environmental Science degree is frequently abbreviated as B.Env.Sc., especially in the use of post-nominals.
