Bachelor of Science (Environmental Science)
The BSc in Environmental Science is an interdisciplinary program where students will build fundamental scientific knowledge in biology, chemistry, geography, physics and earth sciences, mathematics and data sciences. This program supports advanced scientific and quantitative understanding of the environment, environmental problems and their solutions. It has been developed as a response to the immediate need for action on climate change and meaningful collaboration with government, industry and Indigenous communities. This program will provide students with foundational training to think differently about the nature of environmental problems and how to consider alternative ways of studying and resolving these problems from across the sciences.
A minimum overall average of 70% is required on your best six 4U/4M courses including prerequisites.
Prerequisites include ENG4U; one of MCV4U or MHF4U; SCH4U and one of SBI4U, SPH4U or SES4U.
