So what does a major in Environment & Sustainability look like at UBC? Well, here is a list of the relevant courses I had to take for my major. This is not a list of what everyone in the major had to take, but what I chose to study. There was about double the amount of courses that I’ve listed to pick from, and this is only my selection. Nor is this all the classes that I took while at UBC. Bolded are my personal favourites, while italicized courses I have not yet taken!
