Of course, you can bring a sustainability perspective to any course of study. However there are three programs at McGill that explicitly relate to sustainability. Two of these are Interfaculty Arts & Sciences programs - the Sustainability, Science and Society BASc & Environment BASc. The third is offered by the Desautel Faculty of Management called Managing for Sustainability. A comparison of the core features of these programs is below. Please see the course catalogue for more detailed information.
Interfactulty Program in Sustinability, Science and Society: (54 credits)
The SSS program finds its strength in the way classes are structured around the three thematic pillars: Science & Technology, Economics & Policy, and Ethics & Equity. Within each of these pillars students take 6 credits.
Interfaculty Program in Environment: (54 credits)
The major difference from SSS is that the Environment program allows for more flexibility when chosing complementary courses. Students can choose any course from 12 areas, and students can concentrate credits in any particular area or combination of areas. Thus the Envronment program is less structured than SSS.
Managing for Sustainability: (39 credits)
This program focuses on business management, strategy, and organization as it relates to sustainability. As such there is less focus on the biophysical or ecological underpinnings of sustainability issues, but a greater emphasis on sustainablity challenges and the role of sustainability in the private sector.
