During Plan Selection in May at the end of first year.
What to watch for
Environmental Science (BSc) and Environmental Studies (BA) are two different plans — the BA route is entered through Arts (QA), NOT this science pathway. Both confirmed in the School of Environmental Studies listing, alongside Environmental Biology, Environmental Chemistry, Environmental Geology, Environmental Life Sciences and Environmental Toxicology, all selected after first year. CODE CAVEAT: Queen's requirements table still prints Science (QS); confirm QSE on OUAC.
The same application also gets you to
Earth and Environmental Science Pathway is the entry point for 1 other major at Queen's. You are not choosing between these at application time.
