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

 Environmental Geoscience is the study of the geological and geographic composition of the environment and the forces that shape the earth.

The University of Regina's geology and environmental geoscience programs are highly relevant to today’s world, where human societies require more and more mineral resources and energy sources from the earth. At the same time, environmental issues, including climate change, resource depletion, scarcity, and pollution are increasingly constraining sustainable economic development and affecting our living environment.

Geology and environmental geoscience are especially important for Saskatchewan, where oil, gas, and mineral resources play an important role in the economics of the province.

The University of Regina's programs have a well-rounded curriculum that promotes a solid understanding of the fundamentals of the earth sciences across all sub-disciplines, combined with extensive hands-on training, field-oriented class exercises, regular use of the Saskatchewan Geological Survey’s subsurface core repository, and two intensive field school courses. The programs have an established reputation for training highly qualified graduates.

Graduates are eligible to apply for membership in the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of Saskatchewan (APEGS) which follows the recommendations of the Canadian Geoscience Standards Council that sets the professional curriculum across Canada.
