Bachelor of Environmental Studies - Geography and Aviation

University of Waterloo

Students will earn a Bachelor of Environmental Studies from one of the country’s top-ranked geography departments (The University of Waterloo is ranked 39 in the Shanghai Academic Ranking of World Universities) – and graduate with their Commercial Pilot Licence. There’s no better way to appreciate geography than from several thousand feet above the ground. And students’ knowledge of geography will be an asset when they are navigating across continents.

Between the classroom and the cockpit, students will gain a deep understanding of landforms, weather patterns, and the computer technology behind tools such as geographic information systems (GIS) and remote.

Through a partnership with the Waterloo Wellington Flight Centre, students will receive at least 200 hours of in-the-air experience at one of Canada's largest flight training centres.
