Program Requirements
The growth of technology, globalization of economies, and rapid increases in population and per capita consumption have all had dramatic environmental impacts. The Interfaculty Program Environment for the Bachelor of Arts and Science is designed to provide students with a broad "Liberal Arts/Science" training. In combination with careful mentoring, this program offers a great degree of flexibility, allowing students to develop the skills and knowledge base required to face the myriad of environmental problems that currently need to be addressed.
Program Requirements
1. Students are required to take a maximum of 21 credits at the 200 level and a minimum of 12 credits at the 400 level or higher in this program. This includes required courses.
2. Students must complete at least 21 credits in the Faculty of Arts and at least 21 in the Faculty of Science as part of their interfaculty program and their minor or minor concentration. ENVR courses are considered courses in both Arts and Science, and so the credits are split between the two faculties for the purpose of this regulation.
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 on both 捆绑SM社区's Downtown campus and at the Macdonald campus in Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue.
Required Courses (18 credits)
Location Note: Core required courses are taught at both 捆绑SM社区's Downtown campus and at the Macdonald campus in Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue. You should register in Section 001 of an ENVR course that you plan to take on the Downtown campus, and in Section 051 of an ENVR course that you plan to take on the Macdonald campus.
