Environmental Studies: Courses

The School of the Environment offers individual credit courses that are open to graduate students from all parts of the University, subject to enrolment limits. Except for the core course, ENV1001H, not all courses are offered every year.

Graduate students enrolled in the CSES may also request to count non-listed electives towards their collaborative specialization pending approval from the School’s Graduate Associate Director. (Non-listed electives are those not on 1) the pre-approved list of School of the Environment courses or 2) those that are formally cross-listed with other graduate units.) For a current graduate course listing, please refer to the School of the Environment's website.
