Program structure and rules
To obtain a B.Sc. (Ag.Env.Sc.) degree, you must complete 120 credits.听You must complete a minimum of 60 credits at 涩里番 (applicable to students transferring from other institutions or going on an exchange), and two-thirds of the credits required when you began your B.Sc. (Ag. Env. Sc.) must be taken on the Macdonald Campus. You require at least 12 credits at or above the 400-level.
Students in the B.Sc.(Ag.Env.Sc.) must fulfill the requirements of at least one major and one specialization .听All majors and specializations consist of a combination of听complementary courses, which you choose from a set list, and required courses. The credits from these two components add up to 60鈥�66 credits. The remaining credits will come from foundation year courses (which you may have already received credit for at the time of admission, if you are entering from the Quebec CEGEP system) and 24鈥�30 credits of electives.
You have almost limitless possibilities for your electives: you can take more courses from the lists given for your program, courses from the lists of related programs, or you can explore other interests entirely.
You cannot receive credit for a course which is considered equivalent to a course you already took (e.g., a course taken on the Downtown Campus and its equivalent offered on the Macdonald Campus). Check the list of Downtown-to-Mac course equivalencies .

How do I find my program requirements?
Program requirements change over time. The requirements that apply to you are those that were in effect at the time when your started your major and specialization(s), respectively. For example, you can be in the 2020-2021 version of your major, and the 2021-2022 version of your specialization.听To see when you started a given program component, check your unofficial transcript on Minerva.
Program requirements are found in the eCalendar , with the exception of the list of complementary courses for the Agricultural Economics major. Select from the eCalendar versions in the sidebar to find the requirements for the appropriate year. Agricultural Economics students can find the list of complementary courses for their major by selecting "course planning" as the advising topic above.
Make sure you search the correct version of the eCalendar (see the years at the top of the page) for the program component (major or specialization) of interest. Search the name of the major or specialization. Make sure you are looking at the correct entry by checking the total number of credits (see table above). Take care to avoid confusing minors with specializations. Specializations are listed under the degree type (B.Sc.(Ag.Env.Sc.), without "specialization" listed in the title.
If you click on individual courses in the eCalendar's program requirements, you can view pre-requisites and other restrictions. You can also search the eCalendar for courses.
What if there are courses listed in both my major and specialization?
A maximum of 6 credits can overlap between two program components (e.g., between your major and a specialization) if they appear on the lists for both. This means that you can use some credits in more than one place, but any credit counts only once toward the total number of credits needed to graduate. All specializations must have at least 18 unique credits. Overlap frees up more space for electives. There is one exception: all credits used in the Professional Agrology specialization must be unique, i.e., they count only toward that specialization and cannot be used elsewhere.
Minimum grade policy
You must get a C or better in your pre-requisite, required, and complementary courses for them to count toward your degree requirements or as a pre-requisite. If you get a lower grade in such a course, you must re-take the course in order for it to count.
If you get a D grade in a complementary course, you can either take the course again or chose another from the list. Courses with a grade of D which are not re-taken count as electives.
If you retake a course, the original grade will continue to affect your GPA. If you retake a course, please note you can only receive credit for it听once . You must be especially mindful of this if you retake the course under a different code (e.g., get a D in FDSC 230 and get C or better in CHEM 212, these two being equivalent courses). Minerva will give credit for both courses until someone manually alters the student鈥檚 record.

Suggested course progressions
The recommendations below are designed听to ensure students taking a full course load (15 credits per semester) are able to complete their program in 3 years (not including Foundation Year courses) and avoid scheduling difficulties and pre-requisite issues. Note that conflict-free options for complementary and elective courses are included in the suggestions below, but you may choose others as scheduling permits.
Most students take five 3-credit courses per term (15 credits total), but some choose to take four courses (12 credits total). If you take less than five courses per term it may be possible for you to "catch up" with summer courses, or you can take an extra semester or year. You are considered a full-time student if you register for at least 12 credits in a given term. Note that to be eligible for in-course scholarships from our Faculty , you must complete 27 graded credits in the school year.
The tables below are valid for the 2025-2026 school year. These tables represent blocks of courses that are conflict-free with each other.
Important notes
The vast majority of courses in your program are offered once a year, and there is always only one scheduling option for the lecture. Thus the value of following the recommendations below, to avoid scheduling conflicts which will delay your graduation.
Do not use these tables as lists of program requirements! Program requirements must be accessed from the eCalendar (pay attention to the version of the program you are in, and make sure you look at the correct information on the eCalendar). For example, if an instructor who teaches a required course goes on sabbatic and the course is not offered in a given year, it will not appear in the tables, but it's still required. Similarly, alternate year courses (some of which are required in some programs) will not appear in the tables, in the years when they are not offered.
These blocks of courses are conflict-free by design, and exist to ensure it's possible for a "typical" student to complete the program in 3 years. You are free to take different complementary or elective courses than the ones listed below, scheduling permitting. Whether courses from different blocks are conflict-free with each other is up to chance. It's not because courses from different blocks were conflict-free with each other one year, that they will also be in any other year.
If the courses listed in a given term are insufficient in number, fill up your schedule with other complementary courses of your choice, or electives.听

Suggested course progressions
The recommendations below are designed听to ensure students taking a full course load (15 credits per semester) are able to complete their program in 3 years (not including Foundation Year courses) and avoid scheduling difficulties and pre-requisite issues. Note that conflict-free options for complementary and elective courses are included in the suggestions below, but you may choose others as scheduling permits.
Most students take five 3-credit courses per term (15 credits total), but some choose to take four courses (12 credits total). If you take less than five courses per term it may be possible for you to "catch up" with summer courses, or you can take an extra semester or year. You are considered a full-time student if you register for at least 12 credits in a given term. Note that to be eligible for in-course scholarships from our Faculty , you must complete 27 graded credits in the school year.
The tables below are valid for the 2025-2026 school year. These tables represent blocks of courses that are conflict-free with each other.
Important notes
The vast majority of courses in your program are offered once a year, and there is always only one scheduling option for the lecture. Thus the value of following the recommendations below, to avoid scheduling conflicts which will delay your graduation.
Do not use these tables as lists of program requirements! Program requirements must be accessed from the eCalendar (pay attention to the version of the program you are in, and make sure you look at the correct information on the eCalendar). For example, if an instructor who teaches a required course goes on sabbatic and the course is not offered in a given year, it will not appear in the tables, but it's still required. Similarly, alternate year courses (some of which are required in some programs) will not appear in the tables, in the years when they are not offered.
These blocks of courses are conflict-free by design, and exist to ensure it's possible for a "typical" student to complete the program in 3 years. You are free to take different complementary or elective courses than the ones listed below, scheduling permitting. Whether courses from different blocks are conflict-free with each other is up to chance. It's not because courses from different blocks were conflict-free with each other one year, that they will also be in any other year.
If the courses listed in a given term are insufficient in number, fill up your schedule with other complementary courses of your choice, or electives.听

Suggested course progressions
The recommendations below are designed听to ensure students taking a full course load (15 credits per semester) are able to complete their program in 3 years (not including Foundation Year courses) and avoid scheduling difficulties and pre-requisite issues. Note that conflict-free options for complementary and elective courses are included in the suggestions below, but you may choose others as scheduling permits.
Most students take five 3-credit courses per term (15 credits total), but some choose to take four courses (12 credits total). If you take less than five courses per term it may be possible for you to "catch up" with summer courses, or you can take an extra semester or year. You are considered a full-time student if you register for at least 12 credits in a given term. Note that to be eligible for in-course scholarships from our Faculty , you must complete 27 graded credits in the school year.
The tables below are valid for the 2024-2025 school year. These tables represent blocks of courses that are conflict-free with each other.
Important notes
The vast majority of courses in your program are offered once a year, and there is always only one scheduling option for the lecture. Thus the value of following the recommendations below, to avoid scheduling conflicts which will delay your graduation.
Do not use these tables as lists of program requirements! Program requirements must be accessed from the eCalendar (pay attention to the version of the program you are in, and make sure you look at the correct information on the eCalendar). For example, if an instructor who teaches a required course goes on sabbatic and the course is not offered in a given year, it will not appear in the tables, but it's still required. Similarly, alternate year courses (some of which are required in some programs) will not appear in the tables, in the years when they are not offered.
These blocks of courses are conflict-free by design, and exist to ensure it's possible for a "typical" student to complete the program in 3 years. You are free to take different complementary or elective courses than the ones listed below, scheduling permitting. Whether courses from different blocks are conflict-free with each other is up to chance. It's not because courses from different blocks were conflict-free with each other one year, that they will also be in any other year.
If the courses listed in a given term are insufficient in number, fill up your schedule with other complementary courses of your choice, or electives.听

Suggested course progressions
The recommendations below are designed听to ensure students taking a full course load (15 credits per semester) are able to complete their program in 3 years (not including Foundation Year courses) and avoid scheduling difficulties and pre-requisite issues. Note that conflict-free options for complementary and elective courses are included in the suggestions below, but you may choose others as scheduling permits.
Most students take five 3-credit courses per term (15 credits total), but some choose to take four courses (12 credits total). If you take less than five courses per term it may be possible for you to "catch up" with summer courses, or you can take an extra semester or year. You are considered a full-time student if you register for at least 12 credits in a given term. Note that to be eligible for in-course scholarships from our Faculty , you must complete 27 graded credits in the school year.
The tables below are valid for the 2025-2026 school year. These tables represent blocks of courses that are conflict-free with each other.
Important notes
The vast majority of courses in your program are offered once a year, and there is always only one scheduling option for the lecture. Thus the value of following the recommendations below, to avoid scheduling conflicts which will delay your graduation.
Do not use these tables as lists of program requirements! Program requirements must be accessed from the eCalendar (pay attention to the version of the program you are in, and make sure you look at the correct information on the eCalendar). For example, if an instructor who teaches a required course goes on sabbatic and the course is not offered in a given year, it will not appear in the tables, but it's still required. Similarly, alternate year courses (some of which are required in some programs) will not appear in the tables, in the years when they are not offered.
These blocks of courses are conflict-free by design, and exist to ensure it's possible for a "typical" student to complete the program in 3 years. You are free to take different complementary or elective courses than the ones listed below, scheduling permitting. Whether courses from different blocks are conflict-free with each other is up to chance. It's not because courses from different blocks were conflict-free with each other one year, that they will also be in any other year.
If the courses listed in a given term are insufficient in number, fill up your schedule with other complementary courses of your choice, or electives.听
