Admission Requirements
The program in first year must include Biology 022 or 023, and Chemistry 020 or 023, each with a mark of at least 60%, and Mathematics 030 or any two of the following: Calculus 050a/b, 051a/b, 081a/b, 091a/b, Mathematics 028a/b, Linear Algebra 040a/b, Statistical Sciences 024a/b. It is to the student's advantage to include Geography 020E and/or the former Earth Sciences 020 or equivalent, (see note) in the first year.
Note: Courses equivalent to the former Earth Sciences 020 are any two of Earth Sciences 081a/b, 083F/G, 281b, or the former 082a/b, 085a/b.
Students may enter the third year of the program from second year of another program if they have already fulfilled, with a 60% average, all but five courses of the graduation requirements, and possess the proper prerequisites for the remaining courses in the Environmental Science program. For certain courses listed below, students are advised that the necessary prerequisites are not contained in the Groups and are not part of the program requirements; thus, programs should be planned carefully.
