Environmental Studies Program General Information Environmental Studies interdisciplinary programs provide an academic framework for understanding the growing body of literature and scholarship on environmental problems. Students will learn about major environmental problems facing contemporary society, and acquire the interdisciplinary tools required to analyze, critique, and solve them. Both theoretical and applied approaches will be emphasized to varying degrees within the curriculum. Eligibility Environmental studies courses are open to any student in any faculty as electives contributing towards a Minor or a Secondary Major. There is no official admission to the Environmental Studies Minor or Secondary Major programs. Students may take the required credit hours at any time throughout their program, and will indicate their desire to be considered for either the Minor or Secondary Major when applying to graduate. Students are advised to contact the coordinator of the Environmental Studies program early on in their studies to ensure they will have all necessary credits. With the permission of the Coordinator of Environmental Studies, students may count the following for credit in the Minor and Secondary Major programs: (i) UNB course credits not on the list of Environmental Studies elective courses (provided below), but approved by the relevant F aculty at UNB and deemed relevant by the coordinator of the Environmental Studies program; and (ii) course credits from other universities which have been approved by the relevant Faculty at UNB and deemed relevant by the coordinator of the Environmental Studies program. Note: Any course required by a student's primary major (as a core course) cannot be used as an Environmental Studies course elective. However, students can count approved elective courses towards one or more minors. Students should also be aware that some courses listed above have prerequisites. Programs of Study Environmental Studies Minor: The Environmental Studies Minor consists of 24ch of core and elective courses, selected in consultation with the Coordinator of Environmental Studies. Students are required to take: 1. 6ch of core Environmental Studies (ENVS) courses. 1 | P a g e Deleted: It is advised that Deleted: s
