(July 21, 2025) – Building on their history of productive partnerships, Cambrian College and Laurentian University have signed a new Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that will provide future students with the training needed for careers in environmental sciences. The agreement formalizes a unique collaboration that enables the creation of a new four-year Bachelor of Science (BSc) in Environmental Solutions program offered at Laurentian University, which will integrate completion of a graduate certificate at Cambrian College.
Students enrolled in the BSc in Environmental Solutions will complete years one, two and four at Laurentian University, while their third year will be spent at Cambrian College completing the Environmental Control Graduate Certificate program. Upon graduation, students will earn both a Laurentian University BSc and a Cambrian College Graduate Certificate, preparing them with the academic and applied skills needed for today’s environmental challenges.
“This collaboration represents the best of what our institutions can offer when we work together,” said Janice Clarke, Vice-President Academic at Cambrian College. “Students gain practical, hands-on learning experiences that complement their academic studies, preparing them for successful careers in the environmental field.”
“We’re excited to partner with Cambrian College on this innovative and meaningful initiative,” said Dr. Malcolm M. Campbell, Provost and Vice-President Academic at Laurentian University. “This program leverages the strengths of both institutions and reinforces our shared commitment to environmental stewardship, student success, workforce readiness, and graduate employment.”
The program’s curriculum was built in consultation with industry leaders, public sector partners, and subject matter experts. This unique process builds a strong foundation for this new academic offering.
