Honours Bachelor of Science - Water Resource Science

Lakehead University’s Water Resource Science program is the only undergraduate program of its kind in Canada, and will provide students with the necessary skills and scientific knowledge to protect and advocate for the most valuable resource.

Students will learn: • The effects of human activity on the environment • Techniques for rehabilitating damaged systems • Water-related public policies • The biological, physical and chemical aspects of aqueous systems

Lakehead University’s well-rounded curriculum is designed to give students the opportunity to look at wetland, lake, river and groundwater systems from various perspectives, and explore their interconnectedness. In addition to the program's unique subject matter, its interdisciplinary nature and focus on hands-on, field-based learning sets it apart from other environmental studies and environmental sciences programs across Canada.
