Environmental Geography
(Arts program): Formerly called “Environment and Resource Management”, 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. Forest Conservation (Arts or Science programs): 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): 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. 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 Psychology. 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 students taking a B.Sc. program who do not wish to also 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, 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. The 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 Scarborough Calendar FOR 2009-10). Collaborative Specialist, Major and Minor Programs: The Centre offers six Science specialist programs: Environment & Health; Environmental Chemistry; Environmental Geosciences; Earth Systems: Physics and Environment; Past Environments; and Environment & Toxicology. The Centre also offers collaborative major programs in Environment and Health, and Environmental Ethics, as well as collaborative minor programs in Environmental Ethics, Energy and Environment, and Environment and Behaviour. These programs combine the Centre’s interdisciplinary core with a deliberately focused set of discipline-specific courses. Directed 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 with 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 here of the Calendar for program requirement details). General Program Information: 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, (PHY131H1,PHY132H1)/(PHY151H1,PHY152H1), (GGR100H1, GGR101H1). Students should compare specific program requirements and the prerequisites for ENV235Y1, ENV236Y1 when selecting specific first year science 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, the new Robert Hunter Scholarship, and several other Centre-based scholarships (see http://www.environment.utoronto.ca/UndergraduatePrograms/Scholarships/) 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,
