The Bachelor of Science - Environmental Science - Honours at Algoma University's Sault Ste. Marie campus is a four-year Honours bachelor's degree that gives you a strong, career-focused education in this field.

You will study the science of the environment — ecology, chemistry, biology, earth science, climate and sustainability — with strong lab and field components made especially rich by the Sault Ste. Marie campus's setting beside Lake Superior. The program develops practical monitoring, analysis and problem-solving skills for real environmental challenges. Graduates work as environmental scientists and technicians, in conservation, compliance, sustainability and resource management with government, consultancies and industry, and the degree is a solid base for graduate environmental study.

At Algoma's Sault Ste. Marie campus you benefit from small classes, strong scholarships and individual attention, and as a public-university degree the program keeps you eligible for a Post-Graduation Work Permit after you graduate.

Graduates are well placed for roles such as Environmental Technician / Scientist, Conservation / Field Worker and Environmental Compliance Officer, gaining a mix of theory, applied projects and real Canadian experience that employers value.

Beyond subject knowledge, you will build the communication, teamwork, research and problem-solving skills that transfer across careers and set you up for long-term success in Canada and around the world.
