Administrative Assistant Caroline Romero 905-688-5550, extension 3526 Mackenzie Chown D431 This four-year Honours program leading to a Bachelor of Arts and Sciences (BASc) in Earth and Planetary Science Communication is designed to provide graduates with a solid understanding of Earth and Planetary Science and the ability to communicate effectively in a variety of formats. This program is a transdisciplinary offering which combines scholarship within the Department of Earth Sciences with those of the department of Geography and Tourism Studies as well as that within the Department of Communication, Popular Culture and Film. The aim is to provide graduates with the knowledge about Earth and Planetary Science concepts, coupled with strong communication skills which will enable them to pursue careers in Communication for government agencies, NGOs, private companies, and journalism. Students will take the same courses as Earth Science and Communications majors. The first two years provide fundamental background knowledge in both disciplines. In the senior years, students have more freedom to choose courses in their areas of interest. A capstone course in year 4 (ERSC 4F95), consist of a supervised project on a topic in the media format of the student’s choice, provided it has been approved by a faculty supervisor. The overall goal of this degree is to prepare graduate with extensive knowledge about the Earth and planetary sciences and the skills to communicate well and create positive relationships between organizations and stakeholders. Students in this program prepare to work effectively in various roles and positions within science policy debates and developments in a wide range of settings, including governments, NGOs and private companies. |
