Centre for Environment

Introduction

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 new Centre for Environment (www.environment.utoronto.ca). See below.

Environment & Resource Management (Arts program):

(See program details under Geography)

These Specialist and Major programs can be linked with either the Centre’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):

(This program, formerly offered at Innis College, is now offered through the new Centre for Environment, and has been renamed Environmental Policy & Practice – see below)

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 Centre’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 Centre’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.

The Faculty of Arts and Science established the Centre for Environment to help students focus the diverse strengths of the Faculty’s environmental scholars into an academic program. In addition, the Centre’s programs offer students access to environmental scholars in other units of the University.

Core Programs:

The Centre offers HBA and HBSc minor, major and specialist programs: Environment and Science (Science), Environment and Society (Arts), and Environmental Policy and Practice (Arts) which are often 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.

The Centre’s B.Sc. Environment and Science program is intended for students who are interested in studying and working in the environmental sciences with a focus on one of the Faculty’s many scientific disciplines, from Actuarial Science through Zoology. The science program is a demanding one with a requirement for a number of 100-level science courses in Biology, Chemistry, Earth Sciences, Mathematics and Physics. This foundation is necessary to give students the degree of cross-disciplinary scientific literacy necessary for our 200-level science courses; ENV234Y1 (Environmental Biology), ENV235Y1 (Physics and Chemistry of Planet Earth) or ENV236Y1 (Human Interactions with the Environment). In most cases, students will be combining Environment and Science with another science option (a Specialist or Major or two Minors) for an Honours B.Sc. degree program.

The Centre’s B.A. Environment and Society program is a broad general program intended for students interested in studying and working in an environmental area within the social sciences or humanities, e.g. geography, economics, ethics, or international relations. Environment and Society may also be appropriate for science students who do not wish to enroll in Environment and Science. In most cases students will be combining Environment and Society with another option (a Specialist or Major or two Minors) for an Honours B.A. or B.Sc. degree. Companion programs for students in Environment and Society could come from any of the Faculty’s social sciences or humanities disciplines (including Commerce). NOTE: Students may not take both an Environment and Society program and an Environmental Policy and Practice program, unless one of them is not required to meet degree requirements.

In the Centre’s Environmental Policy and Practice program (formerly Environmental Studies), understanding leads to action. This program offers rigorous academic study of the economic, social and political forces driving today’s issues - globalization, species extinction, the Kyoto Protocol on climate change, the fight for sustainable cities, smog, toxic pollution and human health. The program links intellectual understanding of the environmental crisis with opportunities to use this knowledge to help solve these problems - here in the Toronto area, nationally and globally.

Students study in small classes with extensive faculty contact. These faculty include both academic scholars and professional practitioners, which means students gain both academic skills and knowledge and practical skills and experience, both in the class-room and in the community. The program specializes in environmental policy and governance, and gives students a grounding in scientific literacy and evolving cultural attitudes toward nature. Together, the academic and applied experience students gain in this program provides a solid foundation for graduate studies and professional careers. NOTE: Students may not take both an Environment and Society program and an Environmental Policy and Practice program, unless one of them is not required to meet degree requirements.
Interfaculty Combination: Environmental Policy and Practice and International Development Studies

The program combination of Environmental Policy and Practice and International Development Studies is for students enrolled in the Faculty of Arts and Science on the St. George campus wishing to pursue a Specialist or Major program in Environmental Policy and Practice at the Centre in conjunction with a Major program in International Development Studies at the Scarborough campus, or for students enrolled at the Scarborough campus wishing to pursue a Specialist program in International Development Studies at Scarborough in conjunction with a Major program in Environmental Policy and Practice at the Centre (for the latter option, Scarborough students should consult the University of Toronto at Scarborough Calendar for 2006-07).

Collaborative Specialist Programs:

The Centre 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 Centre’s interdisciplinary core with a deliberately focused set of discipline-specific courses.

All Science programs in the Centre 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 (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 Centre build on a base of social science and humanities courses. Environment and Society, as well as Enviromental Policy and Practice, do 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.

Note: Majors and specialists in Centre for Environment programs are eligible for the Douglas Pimlott scholarships and awards, and the new Robert Hunter Scholarship (see http://www.environment.utoronto.ca/UndergraduatePrograms/Scholarships/)
For further information, see http://www.environment.utoronto.ca/ or contact David Powell, Undergraduate Student Advisor, Centre for Environment at 33 Willcocks St., Room 2103, 416-946-8100 ordavid.powell@utoronto.ca

Directed Environmental Minor Programs:

Environmental minor programs are offered by a number of departments. Five are science and four 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 interested in Centre for Environment programs should refer to the program listings on the following pages. Students should be aware that numerous programs not explicitly labeled as environmental have relevance for the study of the environment (e.g. Forestry Conservation, Ecology). For suggestions and advice consult the Centre for Environment at http://www.environment.utoronto.ca/ or phone 416-946-8100.
