The Centre for the Environment offers programs in conjunction with seven other departments. It consolidates the former Environmental Sciences and Environ-mental Policy programs, and coordinates them with Environmental Economics. The Centre provides a core of inter-disciplinary courses shared by BA and BSc students. The interdisciplinary core is complemented by courses from other academic disciplines, required context courses, and free elective space. The Centre offers a co-op program in Applied Environmental Science and Technology, as well as four-year programs of study leading to a BA and BSc honours in Environment and three-year BA and BSc pass degree programs with the following options: BA in Environment, with streams in Economics, Geography, Political Science, or Sociology; BSc in Envi-ronment with streams in Biological Sciences, Chemistry, Earth Sciences, or Geography. As well the Centre offers a Concentration and Certificate in Environment.

Program Notes

Due to their primary focus on environmental sciences the following are designated as ENVI Science List courses: ENVI 1P10, 2P04, 2P05, 2P09, 2P61, 2P92, 2P93, 2Q04, 3P01, 3V10-3V15, 4F92.
In all 20 credit degree programs, at least 12 credits must be numbered 2(alpha)00 or above, six of which must be numbered 2(alpha)90 or above and of these, three must be numbered 3(alpha)90 or above. In all 15 credit degree programs, at least seven credits must be numbered 2(alpha)00 or above, three of which must be numbered 2(alpha)90 or above.

BA Pass Program

Satisfactory completion of the first three years of the honours program entitles a student to apply for a pass degree.

Combined Major Programs

Combinations with other departments may be allowed subject to a coherent plan of study approved in advance by both academic units. Please consult the Director for more information.

Certificate in Environment

The Certificate in Environment provides focussed training for those who already hold a degree, or have equivalent professional experience. The admission requirements are the same as for the degree programs. Prospective students should consult with the Director before beginning the certificate program.

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

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

The MATH/COSC requirement will be waived if equivalent courses have already been taken.Courses cannot be counted twice; therefore no ENVI course can count for both a degree and a certificate. (See "Certificate Requirements" under Academic Regulations.)

Concentration in Environment

Students earn a Concentration in Environment by successfully completing the courses listed below together with the requirements for a BSc or BA honours degree.

·	ENVI 1P90, 1P91 and 4P88
