| The Faculty of Arts and Sciences offers students a
number of opportunities to study environment on the St. George campus.
Students are encouraged to investigate the following environmental program
options as well as those of the Division of the Environment.
Division of the Environment (Arts or Science programs)
Offers and co-ordinates academic, disciplined-based programs. See below.
Environment & Resource Management (Arts program):
(See program details under Geography)
These Specialist and Major programs can be linked with either the Division's
Arts or Science programs for an Honours Degree. This program focuses
on resource and environmental planning, environmental assessment, water
resources, waste management and Canada's forests from the perspective
of Geography.
Environmental Studies (Arts program):
(See program details under Innis College, or at www.utoronto.ca/envstudy)
There are restrictions on combining these Specialist, Major and Minor
programs with Division programs. The Innis programs utilize an applied
interdisciplinary approach, provide exposure to the people and organizations
active in environmental work in Canada, and focus on skills development
and the understanding, development and implementation of progressive
environmental policy and practice.
Forest Conservation (Arts or Science programs):
(See program details under Forestry, or at www.forestry.utoronto.ca.)
These Specialist , Major and Minor programs can be linked with
the Division's science or arts programs for an Honours degree. Core
subjects include world's forests, forest products in sustainable
forestry, forest conservation practices, forest management and resource
allocation, and forests and society. Other topics include biodiversity,
sustainability, international policy, certification, intensive forest
management, community management, forest health and forest fragmentation.
Physical & Environmental Geography (Science program):
(See program details under Geography)
These Specialist and Major programs can be linked with the Division's
science or arts programs for an Honours Degree. Core subjects include
geomorphology, climatology, soil science and hydrology. Other topics
include biogeography, remote sensing, climate assessment, biogeochemistry
and environmental contaminants modeling.
Division of the Environment
The Faculty of Arts and Science established the Division of the Environment
to help students focus the diverse strengths of the Faculty's environmental
scientists and scholars into an academic program. In addition, the Division's
programs offer students access to environmental scientists and scholars
in other units of the University. The Division offers HBA and HBSc minor,
major and specialist programs: Environment and Science (Science) and
Environment and Society (Arts) which are normally taken in conjunction
with another program(s) in a traditional academic field (e.g. Physics,
Sociology, etc.). We consider this an ideal combination of disciplinary
depth and interdisciplinary breadth.
In addition, the Division offers six Science specialist programs: Environment
& Health; Environmental Chemistry; Environmental Geosciences; Earth
Systems: Physics and Environment; Past Environments; and Environment
& Toxicology. These programs combine the Division's interdisciplinary
core with a deliberately focused set of discipline specific courses.
Students interested in Division of the Environment programs should refer
to the program listings on the following pages.
All Science programs in the Division include a very strong first-year
science component with core interdisciplinary science courses in subsequent
years. Students intending to pursue Environment and Science or any of
the Science specialist programs are advised to choose first year courses
from BIO150Y1 and CHM 137Y1/(CHM138H1,
CHM139H1)/CHM151Y1,
MAT135Y1/MAT137Y1/MAT157Y1/JMB170Y1,
PHY138Y1/PHY140Y1/GGR100Y1/JGF150Y1/JGG150Y1.
Students should compare specific program requirements and the prerequisites
of ENV235Y1, ENV236Y1
when selecting specific courses.
Arts programs in the Division build on a base of social science and
humanities courses. Environment and Society does not require specific
First Year courses. Students intending to follow arts programs in the
environment might find it helpful to take ENV200Y1
in first year and to include some First Year course choices from the
100-level offerings in Anthropology, Biology, Economics, Geography,
History, Philosophy, Political Science or Sociology.

at 33 Willcocks St., 416-978-3475 or division.environment@utoronto.ca
The Environmental Minor Programs:
Environmental minor programs are offered by a number of departments.
Five are science and three are arts minors. These programs are intended
for students interested in acquiring a hierarchical body of environmental
knowledge in a specific discipline.
These minors are open to any student irrespective of program. As in
any minor, these programs can be combined with other programs of study
(i.e., minors and majors) to meet the requirements for a degree. (See
Page 21 of the Calendar for program requirement details).
Students should be aware that numerous programs not explicitly labeled
as environmental have relevance for the study of the environment. For
suggestions and advice consult the Division of the Environment at http://www.utoronto.ca/divenv/
or phone 416-978-3475.
