Please note: In the event of discrepancies in program requirements and course offerings between this website and the Faculty of Arts & Science Calendar, the Calendar shall take precedence. In order to improve and update the program, the requirements for ES&L change from time to time. The requirements that apply to you are the ones listed in the Faculty of Arts & Science Academic Calendar at the time you enter the program (view Archived Faculty of Arts & Science Calendars here).
Many upper-year courses in ES&L have prerequisites determined by their home units, and many of those prerequisites are not ES&L courses. Thus students need to plan ahead and make sure their programs of study fulfill the prerequisite requirements for the courses they wish to take in upper years. Furthermore, because course prerequisites can change, students are advised to check the prerequisites for relevant years of study. Please consult Faculty of Arts & Science Calendar regarding ES&L courses, prerequisites and availability.
