Additional Information

Related Courses Offered by Other York Faculties and Recognized by Environmental and Health Studies Program at Glendon

Some courses related and relevant to our program and offered by other faculties and departments at York University will be recognized in our program. Such courses could be taken, for example, in fields and departments such as Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Anthropology, Earth Sciences, Geography, Mathematics and Statistics, Natural Science (on the Keele campus), or in the Faculty of Environmental Studies (on the Keele campus). Please note that the suitability of such courses for our program must be assessed, before you take such courses, by the Environmental and Health Studies Program Coordinator. The courses will be approved (or not approved) as suitable for recognition in our program, as appropriate, by the Program Coordinator, on an individual basis.  Therefore, you must check with the Program Coordinator before you enrol in such courses, to make sure whether these courses will be recognized in our program or not. These courses will be considered relevant to, and suitable for, our program if the content of the courses is closely related and/or complementary to the major areas of focus in our program, and consistent with the goals and mission of our program. In order for such courses to be properly assessed by the Program Coordinator, you should provide the Program Coordinator with a brief calendar description of each course you are planning to take in other departments and faculties at York, as well as with any other relevant information the Program Coordinator may request on this subject (evaluation methods in each course, etc.).

Individual Studies and Honours Thesis

An Individual Studies or Honours Thesis, which counts as a “core course,” permits students to create and pursue a course of their own devising.  Individual studies courses may be taken at the 3000 or 4000 level.

Please note:  All “Individual Studies” courses in Environmental and Health Studies are subject to specific regulations which the office of Multidisciplinary Studies will supply upon request. Students must consult with the department before registering in these courses.  Since there is no assurance that a proposed project will be accepted, the student is urged to enrol in an alternative course in addition to the proposed “Reading Courses” until a decision is made concerning his/her proposal.

Courses taken elsewhere at York

Glendon students may take courses at other York faculties to fulfil either their Environmental and Health Studies requirements with permission of the Coordinator.

The York University Senate regulation stipulates that a student must take at least half the total number of credits required for his/her major at his/her home faculty.
