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, and may also be known as a Bachelor of Environmental Science and Management degree in some schools.

In practice, this is essentially equivalent to a Bachelor of Science degree with a specialty in environmental impacts. The degree should not be confused with a Bachelor of Environmental Studies, which typically has less of a science focus and more of an interdisciplinary focus.

The Bachelor of Environmental Science degree is frequently abbreviated as B.Env.Sc., (sometimes B.E.Sc, B.S.E.S, or even B.E.S - the latter of which can cause confusion with a Bachelor of Environmental Studies degree) especially in the use of post-nominals.

In Australia, those who graduate with a B.Env.Sc. are eligible for membership in the Environment Institute of Australian and New Zealand.
