*The Major Environment can be completed through the Bachelor of Science degree (available through the Faculty of Science, on the Downtown Campus), or through the B.Sc. (Ag. Env. Sc.) degree (available through the Faculty of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, on the Macdonald Campus). Students interested in working primarily on one or the other campus should apply to the appropriate Faculty.
To obtain a B.Sc. Major Environment, or B.Sc.(Ag.Env.Sc.) Major Environment, students must:
(a) pass all courses counted towards the Major Environment program with a grade of C or higher
(b) confirm that their course selection satisfies the required components of their Environment program
(c) fufill all Faculty degree requirements as specified in the B.Sc. section or B.Sc.(Ag.Env.Sc.) section, respectively, of the Course Catalogue
