The Bieler School of Environment听offers several courses at the undergraduate and graduate levels. Many are open to all McGill students, while some are restricted to students in Bieler School of Environment听programs.
Our听courses are team-taught, with professors from different fields present in the class.听 This way students are exposed to a wider range of expertise than in a course with a single professor.听 Students (and professors!) also find it interesting to see how experts in different fields approach problems with differing sets of intellectual tools and assumptions.
The most up-to-date information on courses being offered each academic year is available on Class Schedule at .

Gault Nature Reserve
The Gault Nature Reserve at Mont Saint-Hilaire is internationally recognized for its long history of scientific research and in 1978 was the first Canadian site to be named a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. Located at the eastern edge of greater Montreal, the reserve is home to one of the richest clusters of biodiversity in Quebec with over 600 plant species, 800 types of butterflies, 13 kinds of fish, 45 mammals, and 180 bird species. The site, which consists of seven low hills surrounding a small lake, provides an excellent venue for university teaching and research.听
