Best Universities for Environmental Science in North America

Updated:

EduRank

Below is a list of best universities in North America ranked based on their research performance in Environmental Science. A graph of 431M citations received by 11.2M academic papers made by 1,727 universities in North America was used to calculate publications' ratings, which then were adjusted for release dates and added to final scores.

We don't distinguish between undergraduate and graduate programs nor do we adjust for current majors offered. You can find information about granted degrees on a university page but always double-check with the university website.
