Environment Major (Bachelor of Science Double Degree Students) | 2019

The following program of study is only available to students who are completing the Environment major as part of a double degree. 

This major study does not constitute an Environment major for the Bachelor of Science, therefore a student enrolled in the double degree who elects to transfer to a Bachelor of Science would need to complete additional subjects to complete the major.
