Design Studio.
The course provides an opportunity for the student to select an area of concentration for study and design in depth. A thesis topic is to be submitted and approved during term 8 (4b) and all research work completed by the end of the8 month co-op work term 5. Terms 9 and 10 (5a and 5b) will be spent developing the thesis for presentation during term 10. The thesis is to be a vehicle for thinking and design at an innovative level.

Electives .
Students are permitted to study courses given by the University at large which are in the area of the student's individual interest. This will hopefully provide better orientation and more inter-disciplinary communications relevant to the student’s academic pursuits.
Electives are divided into the following two categories.
(TE) Theme Elective (BES Degree) courses within the Faculty of Environmental Studies which deal with ecological issues. Theme Elective (BArch Degree) any course within the School of Urban and Regional Planning. : Each student pursuing a BES degree must have accumulated one and a half-course credits in the theme area of Ecology by or before his/her 6th academic term. Each student pursuing a BArch degree must have one half course credit in the theme area of Planning by or before his/her 10th academic term.
(FE) . Free Elective Courses selected by the student without restrictions as long as the course is approved by Senate.
Note Department approval is mandatory for both TE and FE.
