Bachelor of Science - Environmental Geoscience (Optional Co-op)

Program Description

Environmental geoscience bridges the gap between environmental science and geology and provides a degree program appropriate for people seeking status as professional environmental geoscientists. Our rural setting and small class sizes provide field and laboratory opportunities at every level of study. Graduates in this field are often responsible for ensuring environmentally appropriate development of resources in the mining, oil and gas, and hydrogeological fields.

With increasing concerns about the effects of pollution on the environment, environmental geoscientists are in demand by governments and private industry, primarily as consultants. Canada is recognized as a leader in environmental geoscience education and a degree in this field provides international career opportunities.
