Major in Environment - B.Sc.(Ag.Env.Sc.) and B.Sc.
Students in the Faculty of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences B.Sc.(Ag.Env.Sc.) program and students in the Faculty of Science B.Sc. program can register in the Major in Environment.
The Major comprises two components: core and concentration.
Core: In the core component, the four introductory courses and an intermediate-level course expose students to different interdisciplinary perspectives, approaches, and world views to help them understand the complexity and conflicts that underlie most environmental problems. In the two senior-level courses of the core component, students will apply the general and specialized knowledge acquired through the rest of their program, to the analysis of a selection of contemporary environmental problems. Students will be challenged by the core program to look beyond the confines of their individual views of environment.
Concentration: In addition to the core program, students choose a concentration, a transdisciplinary study of a particular theme or component of the environment. The requirements and complementary course sets vary between concentrations.
B.Sc.(Ag.Env.Sc.) and B.Sc. students can choose one of the following concentrations in the Major Environment:
- Biodiversity and Conservation
- Ecological Determinants of Health (Population and Cellular stream options)
- Environmetrics
- Food Production and Environment
- Land Surface Processes and Environmental Change
- Renewable Resource Management
- Water Environments and Ecosystems (Biological and Physical stream options)
B.Sc. students in the Faculty of Science may also choose one of the following concentrations:
- Earth Sciences and Economics
- Atmospheric Environment and Air Quality
