Environmental Management Major

This major will require the completion of 20.00 credits.

Students deficient in U level Mathematics or Chemistry are required to enrol in the appropriate upgrading course(s), MATH*1000 or CHEM*1060 (available in a distance format) during their first year. MATH*1000 is to be completed before Semester 2 (may substitute for SOIL*2010 in Semester 1 and take SOIL*2010 as the restricted elective in Semester 2). CHEM*1060 must be completed before Semester 3. Students also may access summer distance education courses such as SOIL*2010 or ECON*1050, to maintain their progress.
