BSc and BA Degree Options with Environment, Sustainability and Society

Refer to BSC and BA double major/ combined honours listed above.
If you started your ESS program before 2015, contact your Academic Advisor for program details.

Double Major in Environmental Science and Community Design

The environment is now a major area of focus in the community planning field. In combining these two areas of study, students examine ways in which people can work towards creating and maintaining healthy and sustainable communities. Please see Academic Calendar for program

For pilipili漫画 in the Honours program it is vital that students are sufficiently prepared for independent research and to pilipili漫画fully write a thesis.  A consistently high level of performance in ENVS coursework is a good indicator of preparation.

• All Students applying for the Environmental Science Honours Program are expected to have a GPA of 3.5 and no grade below C in any ENVS course
  • For admission to the Environmental Science Honours program in 2021, GPA will be calculated using underlying letter grades, however one course in ENVS may be omitted (i.e. a PASS may be used instead of the letter grade for one ENVS course) with the exception of ENVS 3502.
    
  • Students who have a GPA above 3.3, but below 3.5 GPA may petition to enter the Environmental Science Honours program. To do so, the student must write a letter addressed to both the Honours Coordinator and their ENVS Undergraduate Advisor to make a case for why they should be allowed into the program, and giving specific details regarding the project they intend to pursue and the supervisor they would prefer to work with.  The Honours Coordinator and ENVS Undergraduate Advisor will make a decision regarding the application to Honours within 3 weeks of receipt.
• ENVS4901 and 4902: Honours Thesis (or the equivalent Honours course in the A Subject for Double Majors)
• For ENVS Majors: a minimum of 54 credit hours of ENVs courses beyond the 1000 level. This amounts to an additional two ENVS electives from the of ENVS courses.

Students who intend to undertake an Honours should begin planning a course sequence that meets Honours requirements during their second year of study. The calendar for the academic year in which a student began their degree program applies.

The formal application process occurs in the Winter semester of the student's penultimate year (i.e., their second last year, typically 3rd year for most students), at which time most of the required second and third year courses have been completed. In that semester, students should do the following:

• Attend the Environmental Science Honours Information Session. Details will be emailed to all students each term.
• Conduct a self-check to ensure that Honours GPA and course requirements (completed and planned) are satisfied.
• Find an appropriate thesis topic and supervisor. It is the responsibility of students to arrange for a supervisor for their Honours project. Supervisors may be a faculty member of the department or by an external scientist, subject to the approval of the Honours Coordinator. Students should begin to search for a supervisor and topic during the year prior to starting the thesis, and are strongly recommended to have the topic and supervisor in place by May of that penultimate year. A list of potential topics and supervisors are posted by the department during the winter semester, but students are encouraged to begin searching prior to this posting.
• Fill out the Honours Application Form (obtained from the Office of the Registrar) and submit it to the Environmental Sciences Undergraduate Advisor by May. All completed and planned courses must be listed in chronological order (the order in which they were taken) on the Honours Application. The Undergraduate Advisor and the Registrar will check the form to ensure requirements are met.
  • Double Major students must have the form reviewed and signed by the Undergraduate Advisor in both Departments.
• If your application is approved (usually in the spring or summer before your final year), you will receive permission to register for ENVS4901/4902

An oral defense follows completion of the thesis. Defenses are held in the Honours Symposium near the end of the winter semester of the final year. The defense is graded independently from the thesis and comprises a student's Honours Qualifying Examination. A grade of B- or better must be achieved on the Honours Qualifying Examination.

Departmental Requirements
    A minimum of 18 credit hours in Environmental Science (ENVS) courses at the 2000 level or higher.

Bachelor of Science with Minor in Environmental Studies

Students pursuing another major within the Faculty of Science can opt for a Minor in Environmental Studies. Exploring the broader environmental issues can complement a degree in any other scientific discipline. With this minor, science students develop an appreciation for the scientific, cultural, economic, historic, legal and social complexities of environmental issues.

Bachelor of Arts with Minor in Environmental Studies

The Minor in Environmental Studies is also available to students who have chosen their major within the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences. An arts education can benefit from deeper exploration of environmental issues, since the environment has become a central concern in political and economic decision-making. Through this minor, arts students can examine the scientific, cultural, legal, historic and social aspects of environmental issues.

Bachelor of Community Design with Minor in Environmental Studies

Students enrolled in the Community Design Honours/Major program in the Faculty of Architecture and Planning can add an environmental specialization to their degrees. With this minor, they can earn an additional degree credential that recognizes the special concentration of courses in Environmental Studies. Approval for the program is required from the School of Planning and the Director of the Environmental Science Program.

Bachelor of Computer Science with Minor in Environmental Studies

Computer Science majors also have an opportunity to add an environmental emphasis to their degrees. Advances in technology can present a number of solutions to environmental challenges, so a foundation in both areas can be very worthwhile.  With this minor, computer science students develop an appreciation for the scientific, cultural, economic, historic, legal and social aspects of environmental issues.

• Checklist for BCSc with Minor in Environmental Studies (available soon)

• ENVS 1100.03: Foundations of Environmental Science and ENVS 1200.03: Current Environmental Challenges
• A minimum of 18 credit hours in Environmental Science (ENVS) courses at the 2000 level or higher to a maximum of 36 credit hours. A maximum of 6 credit hours may be ENVS-equivalent.
  

*Please note that upper level Environmental Science (ENVS) courses have prerequisite requirements.
