BES Joint Programs

Joint programs offer students the opportunity to receive a University degree and a college diploma from either Seneca College or Sir Sandford Fleming College, and/or a certificate from Humber College in five years, in what would otherwise take seven years separately. These accelerated programs can begin either at the college or at York University (with the exception of the York-Humber joint program), and are then completed at the partner institution. Students enrolled in joint programs must fulfill the joint program requirements of both institutions.

Students who are enrolled in FES are required to complete a minimum of 90 credits within the first three years of the joint program with a 5.0 grade point average (C+ average at York), including core, depth, and general education requirements. They are then required to submit an application to the joint program at the respective college in October of their third year of study.

With the exception of the York-Humber joint program: students who begin their diploma at the college should apply to the Joint Program in Environmental Studies through the normal York admission process in the final year of their diploma. Acceptance is contingent upon students successfully completing the diploma with a minimum 3.0 grade point average at the college. Successful applicants will be awarded 60 block credits toward their BES program. Students who choose to opt out of the joint program at York and attend another program will have their advanced standing re-evaluated.

Students enrolled in the 90-credit BES degree program are not eligible to apply to any joint program directly, although they may apply to the respective colleges separately after having completed the 90-credit BES program.
