Our Partners

The School of the Environment provides coordinated communication of environment-related research and education across U of T, so that faculty can more readily collaborate across disciplines, and students can more easily find programs that suit their needs and interests. The great strength of the School is the diversity of our community, and our shared desire to learn from each other and broaden our perspectives. We do this by collaborating with other academic units and building relationships with the greater community.

Environmental Programs at U of T

The University of Toronto has a strong, collaborative presence in environmental teaching and research across all three campuses. Programs offered by other academic units have relevance to the study of the environment. Most are suitable for a double major with the School of the Environment programs.
