Program details
Overview
This four-year Honours Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science is offered at Algoma University's Sault Ste. Marie campus and draws on biology, chemistry, and geography to examine the relationship between people and the environment. Students study contemporary environmental issues such as climate change, invasive species, biodiversity loss, and soil degradation, through a mix of classroom, laboratory, and field-based learning within the surrounding Algoma region. In the third year, students complete an 80-hour internship with a regional organization; in the fourth year, they undertake an honours thesis intended to produce a publishable research project, or may instead complete a second internship. The program suits students interested in applying scientific methods to environmental problems and fieldwork in a northern Ontario setting. Graduates pursue roles such as environmental consultant, ecologist, environmental technician, climatologist, and project manager, working toward solutions to environmental, social, and economic challenges.
