The MSE offers several courses at the undergraduate and graduate levels. Many are open to all McGill students, while some are restricted to students in MSE programs.
Our Core courses, ENVR 200, 201, 202, 203, are open to all students, as is ENVR 400. These courses are team-taught, with several professors from different fields present in the class (although only one gives the lecture in any particular class). This way students are exposed to a wider range of expertise than in a course with a single professor. Students (and professors!) also find it interesting to see how workers in different fields approach problems with differing sets of intellectual tools and assumptions.
One new course that is open to non-MSE students is ENVR 396 Undergraduate Research Project. This course is designed to allow students to undertake a one semester independent research project with a professor in the MSE on an environmental topic.
The most up-to-date information on courses being offered each academic year is available on Class Schedule at www.mcgill.ca/minerva.
