Earth Sciences BSc

The department offers a bachelor of science (BSc) degree with three course stream options leading to course concentrations: geology stream, environmental geoscience stream, and general earth sciences stream. The geology and environmental geoscience streams are designed to permit a student to enroll as a geologist or environmental geoscientist respectively, in the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of British Columbia (APEGBC), the governing body that regulates geoscience practice in BC. All students intending to practice as a geoscientist in BC must be licensed by APEGBC, and are strongly advised to pursue one of these two streams. Many other Canadian provinces also require professional licensing.
