Program Description

If you are interested in water, the environment, sustainability, climate change and how humans interact with and impact local to global resources, then you may want to learn more about the Aquatic Resources Program (AQUA) at StFX. AQUA uses an interdisciplinary approach – combining natural and social science perspectives – to motivate student engagement and foster understanding of water resource issues – both marine and freshwater. You'll explore how water permeates our lives from the food we eat to the health of the earth's oceans and more, how water shapes our world, and how water sustains living organisms. Students majoring in Aquatic Resources may complete a Bachelor of Arts or a Bachelor of Science degree. StFX is located next to Canada’s rugged Atlantic coastline, so you’ll have plenty of opportunity for hands-­on research exploring freshwater and marine resources first­-hand. It's this research that will give you invaluable experience — a distinct advantage in whatever you choose to do next! In addition, you’ll develop and hone skills in oral and written communications, organization, and technical abilities like maintaining lab equipment, quality control and safety procedures.
