B.A. Faculty Program in Environment
The B.A. Faculty Program comprises of two course components: Core and Domain.
Core: The Core, four introductory courses and an intermediate-level course expose students to different interdisciplinary perspectives, approaches, and world views to help them understand the complexity and conflicts that underlie most environmental problems. In the two senior-level courses of the Core, students will apply the general and specialized knowledge acquired through the rest of their program, to the analysis of a selection of contemporary environmental problems. Students will be challenged by the Core program to look beyond the confines of their individual views of environment.
Senior Core and Research: In the two senior courses of the core, students will apply the general and specialized knowledge that they have gained in the program to the analysis of some specific, contemporary environmental problems.
To obtain a B.A. Faculty Program in Environment, students must:
- register in a Domain online, using Minerva;
- satisfy the co- and/or prerequisites for the program (Numeracy [e.g., calculus] and a Basic Science course);
- pass all courses counted towards the Faculty Program with a grade of C or higher;
- confirm that their course selection satisfies the required components of the MSE Core and their chosen Domain, and that the complementary courses are approved courses in their chosen Domain; and
- fulfil all Faculty requirements as specified for the B.A. in Faculty of Arts > Undergraduate > Faculty Degree Requirements, which include meeting the minimum credit requirement as specified in their letter of admission.
