At Memorial University of Newfoundland in St. John's, Canada, BA/BS in Environmental Science is offered as a bachelor's degree in Environmental Sciences programme. The programme runs for 4 years. Tuition for international students is CAD 750 per credit (CAD 225 per credit for local students).
This undergraduate Environmental Science degree at Grenfell Campus in Corner Brook applies the natural sciences to environmental systems, ranging from chemical processes to ecosystem functions and their response to human modification, with general and honours streams available. The degree requires a minimum of 120 credit hours, typically 40 courses, over a minimum of four years, available on a full-time or part-time basis, leading to a BSc or BSc Honours. The curriculum is interdisciplinary and includes hands-on laboratory work, supported by small class sizes. Grenfell's west-coast location gives students access to wetlands, boreal forest, ocean, river systems, and sub-arctic tundra for fieldwork. Admission follows Memorial University's general entrance requirements, with the major declared upon enrollment. It suits students drawn to applied, field-based environmental study, with the degree serving as a route directly into the workforce or into further study.

Admission Requirements: The program page states only that applicants must meet Memorial University's general admission requirements and declare Environmental Science as the major; it sets no program-specific academic threshold of its own. Domestic (Canadian) applicants complete a Canadian high-school curriculum with an overall average of at least 70% across the required senior-level (Grade 12) subjects -- for Newfoundland and Labrador that means English 3201, a Grade 12 mathematics course (e.g. Mathematics 3200/3201), a laboratory science, a social-studies-or-language course and a two-credit elective at the 3000 level; other provinces follow their own equivalent course lists with the same 70% minimum. International applicants are assessed against Memorial's curriculum- and country-specific admission tables (IB, American-patterned, UK-patterned, French Baccalaureate, CXC, WAEC/NECO, or individual-country standards) rather than a single global cutoff. Applicants whose first language is not English must present one of: IELTS Academic 6.5 overall (no band below 6.0 in Reading/Writing); TOEFL iBT 83 overall with at least 20 in Reading and Writing (for tests completed up to January 2026); CAEL 60 overall; PTE Academic 60 overall; Cambridge C1 Advanced/C2 Proficiency 176; Duolingo English Test 115 overall; or Michigan English Test (MET) 59.
Application Details
Application Deadline:Memorial University's undergraduate application system opens one year ahead of each semester for the 2027 cycle: for Fall 2027 entry the portal opens 10 September 2026, the priority deadline (also the early-entrance-scholarship deadline) is 1 March 2027, the document deadline is 20 August 2027, and applications finally close 9 September 2027; Winter 2027 entry has a priority deadline of 1 October 2026 and closes 6 January 2027; Spring 2027 entry closes 11 May 2027 with a priority date of 1 February 2027. International applicants use the same direct application to Memorial and are only advised to apply at least 12 weeks before their intended semester starts; no fixed international closing date is published. Late domestic applications are still considered as time, resources and space permit, so admission is effectively rolling past the priority date up to the final close. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
