The diploma program provides two years of university transferable courses that fulfill the requirements of the first two years of the Northern Systems Major of the B.Sc. ENCS degree with University of Alberta.

After completion of the Diploma in Northern Environmental and Conservation Sciences, students may be eligible to transfer into the third year of the B.Sc.

The Diploma of Northern Environmental and Conservation Sciences is awarded for the completion of the equivalent of 60 credits of university-level coursework. Courses are selected from Core and Elective options, as well as two additional three-credit "free electives".  These free electives can be chosen from a variety of disciplines (discuss with a Program Advisor).
