BSc or BA (120 credit hour) Double Major in Environmental Science and another subject

The Double Major degree program allows students to combine a study of Environmental Science with another subject. The other subject may be any discipline from the Faculty of Science, the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, the Faculty of Computer Science, the College of Sustainability or Community Design in the Faculty of Architecture and Planning. Environmental Science may be the primary subject (defined as the subject with the larger number of credits), or the secondary subject. If the primary subject area is from the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, the degree granted will be a BA.

Students enrolled in a Double Major program must have their program of study approved by advisors in both subject areas.

A Co-op option is available for students enrolled in BSc Double Major with Environmental Science as the primary subject. See Co-operative Education Program.
