6 credits of environmentally related courses selected with the approval of the Program Advisor (at least 3 credits must be in social sciences). A list of Suggested Courses is given below.

Suggested Courses List

The Suggested Courses List is divided into two Thematic Categories: Social Sciences and Policy; and Natural Sciences and Technology.

Most courses listed at the 300-level and higher have prerequisites. You are urged to prepare your program of study with this in mind.

This list is not meant to be exhaustive. You are also encouraged to examine the course lists of the various Domains in the Environment program for other courses that might interest you. Courses not on the Suggested Courses list may be included in the Minor with the permission of the MSE Program Advisor.

Location Note:

When planning your schedule and registering for courses, you should verify where each course is offered because courses for this program are taught at both À¦°óSMÉçÇø's downtown campus and at the Macdonald Campus in Ste. Anne de Bellevue.
