Programs

The Department of Geology offers programs of study for students enrolled in the degree of Bachelor of Science with concentration, major or honors in geology. A combined geology/geography program emphasizes environmental aspects of geology, and a program combining geology and business studies emphasizes the economic aspects of the Earth.

The Master of Science in Applied Science degree program is offered through the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research.

The Geoscience Profession Act requires that one be a member in good standing of The Association of Professional Geoscientists of Nova Scotia in order to work in geoscience-related fields in this province. Consequently, when choosing Science electives major and honours students should consult APGNS guidelines. Current APGNS guidelines can be obtained from the Geology chairperson.

Descriptions and requirements for individual courses can be found on the courses page.
