Course summary
This major focuses on the relationship between human activities and the natural and built environment, and humanity’s reliance on the earth’s natural resources. Humanity has an ever-changing relationship with the natural environment. Technological advances to address these problems are rarely free of environmental costs and professionals working in this field must also negotiate contemporary political disputes. Graduates find employment in non-government organizations, government, research and development, business and consultancies. Employment specialization areas include: biodiversity conservation, climate change mitigation and adaptation, disaster risk management, international development, natural resource management, rural and urban planning, social policy, and sustainable urban development. Upon completion of this major students will have the option of completing a fourth honors year, which includes a research project. Selective entry into the honors program is based on their results at undergraduate level. They also have the option of pursuing graduate coursework programs or research in areas such as geography and the environment.
