Prospective Students

 

Environmental Science, B.Sc. Programs

The Geography and Environment Department at Mount Allison offers a B.Sc. Major, Minor, and Honours in Environmental Science and a B.Sc. Minor in Geographic Information Systems. When advice is needed, students have access to Program Advisor, Dr. Colin Laroque, who will assist in providing students with details of the program.

A number of curriculum changes are implemented each year. For this reason the University Calendar is the authoritative source for degree and programme specification.

Not all courses are offered annually. Therefore students are advised to pay careful attention to the planned patterns of course rotation and to seek advice from the Department as needed.


MINOR in Environmental Science

Students who are interested in completing a Minor in Environmental Science must consult the Program Advisor to determine an appropriate group of courses before seeking approval from the Academic Dean under Calendar Regulation 7.2.17. Normally this consultation should occur in the student's second year of study.


MAJOR in Environmental Science

Students completing a Major in Environmental Science must do 63 credits earned as follows:

6 from GENV 1201, GENS 1401
6 from BIOL 1001, 1501
6 from CHEM 1001, 1021
6 from PHYS 1051, 1551 or 3521
6 from MATH 1111, Math 1121 or COMP 1631
3 from BIOL 3701, MATH 2311, GENS 2431
6 from Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics, or Physics at the 2000 level*
24 from complementary science courses at the 3000/4000 level chosen in consultation with the Program Advisor*
* Note that many 3000/4000 level courses will have one to several prerequisite courses.
* consultation must occur before the student's second year of study

HONOURS in Environmental Science is 78 credits as follows:

63 credits as in the Major, plus:
6 from complementary science courses at the 3000/4000 level approved by the program advisor*
3 from GENS 4421
6 from GENS 4990

B.A. or B.Sc. MINOR in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) is 24 credits earned as follows:

6 from COMP 1631, 1731
3 from GENS 1401, GENV 1201
3 from GENS 2431, MATH 2311
6 from GENS 2441, GENV 4711
3 from COMP 2611, 3851
3 from GENS 3401, GENV 3701

Note: Students who have completed any one of the former Environmental Science course listings or Physical Geography courses will have credits applied to their Geography and Environment B.Sc. program.

Note: All GENS B.Sc. courses are considered Science credits for the completion of degree requirements and may be used to meet the Distribution requirements for Science.
