This undergraduate program leads to an Honours Bachelor of Arts in Environmental Studies from the University of Ottawa. It examines major environmental issues such as anthropogenic climate change, urban pollution and threats to human health, and teaches students to apply research tools and management principles used in areas such as environmental impact assessment and resource management. Coursework draws on disciplines including geography, history, law, political science and recreation studies, combining classroom instruction with applied and field-based learning. The program totals 120 units over four years of full-time study and includes a co-operative education option and a French immersion stream. It is distinct from the university's bilingual Environmental Studies option, which requires a portion of program coursework to be completed in the student's second language.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Ontario secondary-school applicants need English 4U (ENG4U) or Français 4U (FRA4U) as the only subject prerequisite; no other Grade 12 course is required. The published minimum admission average is 75%, calculated from the applicant's top six 4U/4M/DU grades including the language prerequisite. This line covers the great majority of Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Social Sciences programs at the University of Ottawa, including single-subject majors, Honours variants, joint-honours combinations of two Arts or Social Sciences disciplines, and the general Interdisciplinary Studies (BA/BSocSc) credentials. Some programs in this group carry an additional stream (French Immersion, Co-op, or an In-Depth Experiential Learning Stream) that does not change the academic admission line. Meeting the minimum average does not guarantee admission where a program is oversubscribed. Applicants completing Environmental Studies without Biology 4U are advised to take a replacement course in first year.
