Current Students: Earth Science
View the degree requirements of your BSc Geology or BSc Geophysics program.
The BSc Geology program has two streams: Hydrogeology/Environmental and Solid Earth Geoscience. A stream is a suggested set of courses, and does not appear on your transcript. The first two years of both degree programs are the same. Please note that following a stream is not required, and students are encouraged to gain a broad background in geoscience throughout their degree.
Science Internship Program
The Science Internship Program offers Science students the opportunity to participate in 8 to 16 consecutive months of work experience. Gain real life experience in the field by considering the Science Internship Program.
