Courses

The following list includes courses specifically designed for the Environmental Science graduate program as well as environmentally relevant courses that have been taught by various departments in the Faculty of Science, the department of Geography,  and the Faculty of Engineering & Applied Science. Students should check course availability with each department. 

Core courses required for all students in the Environmental Sciences program are:
ENVS 6000
ENVS 6010

In addition, 

MSc. Students must complete:
1 of ENVS 6001, 6002, or 6003
and 1 elective

M.Env. Sci. Students must complete:
