The Centre for the Environment offers programs in conjunction with six other departments. It consolidates the former Environmental Sciences and Environmental Policy programs. 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, 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 Geography, Political Science, or Sociology; BSc in Environment with streams in Biological Sciences, Chemistry or Geography. As well the Centre offers a Minor and Certificate in Environment.

Program Notes

Due to their primary focus on environmental sciences the following are designated as ENVI Science List courses: ENVI 2P04, 2P05, 2P09, 2P61, 2P92, 2P93, 2Q04, 3P01, 3V10-3V15, 4F92.
CHEM 3P41 and 4P41 are strongly recommended.
Students planning to pursue graduate studies in Economics should include ECON 3P91, 4P13 and 4P14 among their ECON electives.
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.
