Overview

For students who have a passion for the environment, and want to learn more about aquatic resources and sustainability, they can explore Aquatic Resources at St. Francis Xavier University. Within this program, students will study aquatic life, climate change, policy and the complexity of human­ ecosystem interactions, all related to people's most precious resource - water. St. Francis Xavier University is located next to Canada’s rugged Atlantic coastline, so students will have plenty of opportunity for hands-­on research exploring freshwater and marine resources first­-hand. It's this research that will give them invaluable experience — a distinct advantage in whatever they choose to do next. In addition, students will develop and hone skills in oral and written communications, organization, and technical abilities like maintaining lab equipment, quality control and safety procedures. Students who major in Aquatic Resources find fascinating career opportunities. Many graduates go on to advanced studies in law, planning, resource and sustainability management, marine and freshwater sciences, archaeology and more. They will be perfectly situated to pursue a career as a research ecologist, environmental analyst, lab and field assistant, water resources scientist, environmental scientist or environmental quality analyst, and much more. Aquatic Resources (AR) is an interdisciplinary, four­-year dual major program, leading to a B.A. or a B.Sc. degree. Students pursue Aquatic Resources as a major with one of Public Policy and Social Research (political science, anthropology and/or sociology), Economics, Biology, Earth Sciences or Math, Statistics, and Computer Science.
