Message from the Dean:

Driven by Innovation

The School of Science and Technology (SST) is home to a wide selection of courses focused on science, engineering and technology. Through well-established programs like the Bachelor of Science, complemented by emerging programs, like our new Bachelor of Arts and Science in Environment, SST provides a firm foundation for students interested in these diverse and exciting fields. Students in SST programs get to explore their interests and curiosities, while gaining critical knowledge, training and skills to secure a rewarding career. Through a combination of academics, hands-on learning and real life experience, SST graduates are both versatile and in demand. Limited enrolment and small class sizes allow students to get research experience during their degree, collaborate closely with our Science faculty and get the individualized attention needed for success. Students gain relevant work experience through CBU’s Co-op Placements, providing a competitive advantage when entering the job market after graduation.
