Introduction
Most of the courses offered at Innis College are integral to
the three programs based in the College: Cinema Studies, Environmental Studies, and Urban
Studies. Other courses are designed to improve academic and creative writing skills and to
broaden the understanding of English prose style.
Cinema Studies treats film primarily as a unique and powerful
twentieth century art with its own traditions, history, conventions and techniques.
Understanding film, its properties, methods, and aesthetics, as well as its impact on
culture and society, is the basis of Cinema Studies. It provides a wide variety of
approaches: the history and development of cinema; film theory and critical analysis; the
study of genres, national cinemas, and the works of individual masters of cinema; and the
examination of film in relation to other arts and academic fields.

Environmental Studies is designed to be taken on its own, or
in combination with either a BSc program (e.g., Biology, Geology, or Chemistry) or another
BA program (e.g., Geography, Political Science, or Economics). However, a major or minor
program in Environmental Studies cannot be combined with a major or minor program in
Environment and Society offered by the Division of the Environment. It is strongly
recommended that students give serious consideration to combining one of the Innis
Environmental Studies programs with another program (contact the Division of the
Environment for details about departmental environmental minors). Students are advised to
consult with the Program Counsellor about combining programs when enroling in the Innis
program.
The Innis Environmental programs provide our students with a
unique combination of rigorous training in the academic and practical skills essential to
work in the environmental field, as well as exposure to the people and organizations
active in environmental work in Canada. We utilize an applied interdisciplinary approach,
and focus on the understanding, development and implementation of progressive
environmental policy and practice. Our curriculum has been carefully designed to educate
students in a range of topical issues, including environmental policy, health, and
sustainable cities, and to train them in acquiring the research, analytical, critical
thinking, organizational, group and presentation skills developed in the previous courses
in the program. Small class sizes and accessible faculty enhance opportunities for
intellectual growth. Core program courses incorporate innovative multi-media modules. The
programs are designed to complement training in a broad range of traditional disciplines.
Program instructors are all leaders in environmental work in
Canada, teaching at Innis while engaged in active environmental work. They bring their
diverse experience and knowledge into the classroom for the benefit of their students.
Guests with particular expertise from outside organizations enhance lectures in all our
courses.
Assignments involve research activities and information
sources outside the university and all students enrolled in our major or specialist
programs work directly with an off-campus organization in the final-year environmental
research seminar and/or professional experience course. Two environmental projects
associated with the Program offer diverse volunteer and employment opportunities to ESP
students and recent graduates
The contacts our students develop during their enrolment in
the Environmental Studies Program at Innis College have enabled many of our graduates to
obtain rewarding employment in all sectors of the environmental field. Our many graduates
who have gone on to pursue post-graduate studies in the environmental field, report that
our program has prepared them very well for the new challenges they face in masters and
doctoral studies. Further details are available on the Environmental Studies website [http://www.utoronto.ca/envstudy/].

Interfaculty Combination: Environmental Studies and
International Development Studies is a program for students enroled in the Faculty of Arts
and Science on the St. George campus wishing to pursue a Specialist or Major program in
Environmental Studies at Innis College in conjunction with a Major program in
International Development Studies at Scarborough College, or for students enroled at
Scarborough College wishing to pursue a Specialist program in International Development
Studies at Scarborough College in conjunction with a Major program in Environmental
Studies at Innis College (for the latter option, Scarborough students should consult the
University of Toronto at Scarborough Calendar for 2001-02)
Urban Studies at Innis provides students with the tools to
make sense of their urban world. The program examines the complex and dynamic relations
between institutions, people and physical form that create, sustain or destroy cities.
The program is suited for those students who wish to study
cities using several disciplinary approaches. It is also of interest to those students who
wish to become involved in urban issues in Toronto. The program offers an internship in
the office of a municipal politician as part of its third-year course and extensive field
research in the fourth-year seminar.
Because urban issues are so varied, a major in Urban Studies
combines well with majors in many other areas. Students are advised to consult the Program
Director when designing programs that meet their particular interests.
The program encourages students to take advantage of the
Study Elsewhere Program at the University of Toronto to broaden their knowledge of cities.
