B.A. Faculty Program in Environment
The B.A. Faculty Program comprises two course 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.
To obtain a B.A. Faculty Program in Environment, students must:
- register in a Concentration online, using Minerva;
- satisfy the co- and/or prerequisites for the program (Numeracy [e.g., calculus] and a Basic Science course);
- pass all courses counted towards the Faculty Program with a grade of C or higher;
- confirm that their course selection satisfies the required components of the core and their chosen concentration, and that the Complementary courses are approved courses in their chosen Concentration; and
- fulfil all Faculty requirements as specified for the B.A. in Faculty of Arts > Undergraduate > Degree Requirements for the Faculty of Arts, which include meeting the minimum credit requirement as specified in their letter of admission.
