Overview

The Department of Physical and Environmental Sciences at the University of Toronto Scarborough (UTSC) and the Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering (FASE) offer the combinedBachelor of Science in Environmental Science/Master of Engineering in Chemical Engineering and Applied ChemistryorCivil Engineering degree program.

This five-year program allows well-qualified students in the BSc Environmental Science program to apply, and be considered, for admission into the MEng program in Chemical Engineering and Applied Science or in Civil Engineering. Students in the combined program will typically complete it in less time than is normally the case for a MEng that follows the completion of a bachelor's degree.

Minimum Admission Requirements

  • Applicants must apply to both degree programs as specified in the respective admission requirements.
  • Each student in the combined program shall meet the admission requirements of each program.
  • To be eligible for admission into the MEng and the combined program, students must be enrolled, and in good standing in one of the BSc specialist programs in Environmental Science (Environmental Biology, Environmental Chemistry, Environmental Geoscience, or Environmental Physics) with a B+ average or higher in Year 2. In addition, students are expected to carry a full course load of 5.0 full-course equivalents (FCEs) each year.
  • Admission into the MEng program is conditional upon students maintaining at least a B+ average in Years 3 and 4 of the BSc.
  • Applications will be accepted in Year 3 of full-time registration in the BSc program.

Program Requirements

  • The full academic program requirements of both programs (BSc/MEng) will be met by students in the combined program.
  • Students are required to remain registered as full-time students throughout the program until completion of the combined program.
  • Complete two prescribed undergraduate engineering half courses (1.0 FCE) as part of the BSc degree requirements.
  • Complete 10 half courses (5.0 FCEs) required for the Master of Engineering program. Up to 1.0 FCE of the required master's courses normally are taken during Year 4 and count towards the BSc degree requirements and the MEng degree requirements.
  • Students who receive conditional offers of admission during Year 3 of the bachelor's program and complete the bachelor's program requirements in Year 4 will commence the MEng during Year 5.
  • Eligible students typically begin the master's program in the summer immediately following completion of Year 4 of the bachelor's program.
