Dept. of Curriculum, Teaching and Learning

A range of elective courses in ESE is also available for MT student to to take as part of their degree program.
 


Collaborative Specialization Programs with the School of the Environment

Dept. of Social Justice Education
Adult Education & Community Development Program, Dept. of Leadership, Higher and Adult Education

The Collaborative Specialization in Environmental Studies provides students who have an interest in the environment with interdisciplinary learning that complements the discipline-based study they are doing in their home units. That learning takes place in both the formal courses offered by OISE and the School of the Environment. One of the compelling strengths of the specialization is the interdisciplinary environment in which teaching and research are conducted. For example, the core course ENV1001H typically has students from 10 to 20 academic disciplines and accordingly places an emphasis upon the challenges and rewards of interdisciplinary communication. Students are both able to specialize in an area of environmental research and gain exposure to a wide range of intellectual and methodological disciplines focused on environmental issues.
