The Department of Tourism and Environment provides an interdisciplinary approach to studying the environment, tourism, and the human-environment interface. Emphasis is placed on exploring the socio-ecological system at local, national, and international scales. It consolidates the former Centre for the Environment and Tourism Studies program.

The Department of Tourism and Environment strives to foster knowledge of sustainability, (environmental, social, economic and political) development and the tourism environment. Programs of study are designed for students pursuing careers in tourism administration, environmental management, economic development, or planning consultants in local organizations to multinational corporations and municipal, provincial or national government agencies.

Students are also able to combine the Tourism and Environment Degree with a Minor in International Studies. Students interested in pursuing the Minor in International Studies are required to follow the prescribed set of courses for the Minor outlined in the International Studies section of the calendar.

Brock University is uniquely positioned on the Niagara Escarpment (a biosphere reserve) and minutes away from Niagara Falls, one of the premier international tourism destinations in the world.

The Department of Tourism and Environment offers a BA Honours and a BA with Major in Tourism and Environment, both of which are four-year programs. The requirement for graduation with a BA Honours degree in Tourism and Environment is a minimum of 70 percent major average and a minimum of 60 percent non-major average in the remaining credits. The requirement for graduation with a BA in Tourism and Environment is a minimum 60 percent major average and a minimum 60 percent overall average.

The Certificate is awarded upon completion of the following credits with a minimum 60 percent overall average:

·	Four TREN credits numbered 2(alpha)90 or above (chosen in consultation with the Chair)
·	MATH 1P98
·	one-half COSC credit
