A Comparative Analysis of Environmental Programs

Identifying re-organizational options for a major institutional faculty.

Higher Education Strategy Associates (HESA) was commissioned by York University to conduct a comparative research study examining environment-related programs in institutions across Canada. Our objective with this study is to provide options concerning how the environmental-related programs at York: Environmental Sciences, Environmental Studies, the BA in Geography and Urban Studies and the BA in Urban Studies, might best be reorganized and how the units might effectively enhance their cooperation in order to facilitate the development of new programs and initiatives.  The report focuses particularly on options that exist at other programs.
