Honours BSc in Environment and Health - St. George in Toronto Canada | University of Toronto

The School provides foundational programs in two disciplines: Environmental Science BSc (Major and Minor) and Environmental Studies BA (Major and Minor). These programs are designed to complement studies in related academic fields. For instance, the Environmental Science Major pairs well with Majors in Environment & Health, Environmental Ethics, Earth and Environmental Systems, Environmental Geography, Forest Conservation Science, Physical & Environmental Geography, Biomedical Toxicology, Chemistry, Physics, Biodiversity and Conservation Biology, or Environmental Biology. Similarly, the Environmental Studies Major combines effectively with BA Majors like Political Science, Economics, Women and Gender Studies, Human Geography, Forest Conservation, Architecture, or BSc Majors such as Environmental Biology, Physics, or Forest Conservation Science. This dual-major approach equips students with both specialized expertise and broad interdisciplinary perspectives.
The Environmental Science BSc programs (Major and Minor) address the multifaceted nature of environmental challenges by incorporating diverse scientific perspectives. Students gain comprehensive knowledge across scientific fields and develop skills to synthesize principles from physical and biological sciences at various scales. Fundamentally, environmental science focuses on scientifically analyzing and innovatively solving environmental issues. The curriculum equips students with both specialized knowledge and interdisciplinary research capabilities essential for environmental science careers. Meanwhile, the Environmental Studies BA programs (Major and Minor) offer interdisciplinary education for students pursuing environmental work within social sciences or humanities. These programs critically examine the economic, social, cultural, and political factors behind environmental challenges like biodiversity loss, pollution, and climate change. By combining scientific literacy with advanced critical thinking, students learn to assess complex environmental issues and develop sustainable solutions for environmental and human welfare.
