BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNING AND MANAGEMENT

Environmental Planning and Management (EPM) is a degree course offered only by Miriam College. It upholds the need to balance economic growth with social justice and the conservation of natural resources.

The curriculum is designed to drive students towards academic excellence in the basic sciences and their planning applications, to produce graduates who are professionally recognized in their field, and to nurture persons with a strong love and respect for nature, country, and the Divine Creator.

The program covers different aspects of planning at the urban and regional level, for social sectors such as housing and education, and for economic sectors such as agriculture and commerce. Students are taught to render plans in both spatial (maps) and technical (proposals) forms.

EPM students take up courses in the earth sciences: biology, chemistry, ecology, and environmental impact assessment. They are prepared for current social realities with subjects in community relations and advocacy, and are also asked to take up special subjects in corporate environmental management and environmental law.

At the end of the course, everyone is allowed to choose the subject of their thesis. As whole, this course provides skills and field experiences that prepare the students for their roles as planners and stewards of the environment.
