Geographical Information Systems (Sciences)
The GIS BSc (Major and Minor) offers an analytical perspective on geographical information. In-depth studies, beyond basic geography, include mapping, spatial analysis and digital databases, with specializations in modelling, statistical analysis and remote sensing. A detailed description of the program is available here.
Environmental Science (Sciences)
The Environmental Science programs (Specialist, Major, Minor and Combined MScSM) offer an opportunity to study the interdisciplinary sciences that are required to understand complex environmental problems involving the natural world and human impacts. After completing the foundational science course ENV100Y5 The Environment, students who enroll in the program can tailor the scientific focus of the program to their own interests, by choosing courses from Geographical and Earth Science Perspectives, Biological/Ecological Perspectives and Physical/Chemical Perspectives. A detailed description of the program is available here.
Environmental Management (Arts)
The Environmental Management programs (Specialist, Major, Minor, Sustainability Minor, Environmental Law and Policy Minor and Combined MScSM) focus on environment, society, and public policy.
