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 Economics, 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.
