This is a limited enrolment program. Students must have completed 4.0 credits and meet the requirements listed below to enrol.
Completed Courses
The following courses are required:
Students in this program have the option to request enrolment in the Arts & Science Internship Program (ASIP) stream. Students can apply for the ASIP stream after Year 1 (Year 2 entry) or after Year 2 (Year 3 entry, starting Fall 2025). Full details about ASIP, including student eligibility, selection and enrolment, are available in the ASIP section of the Arts & Science Academic Calendar. Please note that the majority of students enter ASIP in Fall term of Year 2. Space is more limited for Year 3 entry and there are program-specific year 3 entry enrolment requirements. Students applying for Year 3 entry must have been admitted to the Environmental Science Major program in the Summer after Year 2 and have completed a 0.5 credit of ENV221H1 or ENV222H1 and a 0.5 credit of EEB240H1, CHM210H1, ENV237H1/ ENV238H1, or ESS262H1 prior to ASIP entry.

Notes:
- Students combining the Environmental Science Major with a second BSc or BA Major, and who are also interested in obtaining a basic understanding of the social/political/policy aspects of environment, can add the Environmental Studies Minor. Some of the courses taken for the Environmental Science Major may be double counted for this Minor. Please contact the Undergraduate Student Advisor (see above) to learn more about this option.
- Daniels Students enrolled in this program may be able to fulfil up to 1.5 credits in requirement 3 from ARC courses. Consult the School of the Environment for more information.
