Program Details

Environmental Biology School: York University Faculty: Faculty of Science and Engineering Degree: Bachelor ; Honours Field of Study: Environmental Studies Health Services/Allied Health/Health Sciences, General Description: The health of the environment has become an urgent global concern. As we better understand how human survival and wellbeing depend on a healthy environment, public interest and awareness of the impact of human activities on other organisms and ecosystems is increasing. Environmental Biology prepares you for research and other careers in the field of environmental biology, allowing you to explore critical issues in conservation biology and biodiversity loss while making connections with areas such as human health, sustainability, environmental management, and public policy. This program focuses on the biology of environmental issues, integrating ecological theory and practice to predict, quantify, and address the impact of stressors such as habitat loss, pollutants, climate change, resource harvesting and invasive species on living systems. A ‘capstone’ course in fourth year prepares you to be a practicing environmental biologist, exposing you to cutting-edge experimental design and methodology. A key objective of this program is the development of communication skills, to give our graduates a competitive edge. Website: Environmental Biology at York University Course Based?
