The Diploma in Environment is designed for students with an undergraduate degree who wish to enrich or reorient their training, supplementing their specialization with additional undergraduate-level course work in Environment.
The Diploma requires 30 credits of full-time or part-time studies at 海角社区; it may be started in either January or September. The Diploma is a one-year program if taken full-time.
Students holding a B.Sc. or a B.A. degree or equivalent in good standing will be permitted to register for the Diploma through the Faculty of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, the Faculty of Arts, or the Faculty of Science, provided they are otherwise acceptable for admission to the University.
Students must have a grade of C or higher in all courses for the Diploma.
Advising Note:
Consultation with the Program Advisor for approval of course selection to meet program requirements is obligatory. Only courses at the 200-level and above will be approved.
Location Note:
When planning your schedule and registering for courses, you should verify where each course is offered because courses for this program are taught at both 海角社区's downtown campus and at the Macdonald campus in Ste. Anne de Bellevue.
Required Courses (18 credits)
Location Note: The ENVR courses are offered on both campuses. You should register in Section 001 of an ENVR course that you plan to take on the downtown campus, and in Section 051 of an ENVR course that you plan to take on the Macdonald campus.

Complementary Courses (12 credits)
12 credits of Complementary Courses are selected as follows:
3 credits - must be taken with the approval of the Program Advisor in an area outside of the student's previous degree (e.g., those with a B.A. or equivalent degree must take at least 3 credits in the natural sciences; those with a B.Sc. or equivalent degree must take at least 3 credits in the social sciences). A list of Suggested Courses is given below.
9 credits - must be taken in an area of focus chosen by the student with the approval of the Program Advisor. At least 6 credits must be taken at the 400-level or higher. A list of Suggested Courses is given below.
Suggested Courses List
The Suggested Courses List is divided into two Thematic Categories: Social Sciences and Policy; and Natural Sciences and Technology.
Most courses listed at the 300-level and higher have prerequisites. You are urged to prepare your program of study with this in mind.
This list is not meant to be exhaustive. You are also encouraged to examine the course lists of the various Domains in the Environment program for other courses that might interest you. Courses not on the Suggested Courses List may be included in the Diploma with the permission of the Pogram Advisor.
Social Sciences and Policy
* Note: If WILD 415 is taken, 1 additional credit of complementary courses must be taken.
