Choosing the Appropriate Geology Program
Students wishing to complete a degree program designed to prepare them for a career or a higher degree in geology are encouraged to select one of the following 4-year Honours degrees:
| Degree | Description |
| B.Sc. (Honours) | Major plan is ideal for students who are interested in a career-oriented program in the geosciences that also allows a wide choice of supporting and elective courses. |
|
B.Sc. (Honours, Geological Sciences) |
Specialization plan provides the opportunity for a more intensive study of Geology and the supporting sciences. This plan is designed to lead easily to registration as a "Professional Geoscientist", a designation of increasing professional importance. |
Students who are interested in geology but who do not wish to take one of the three career-oriented Honours science degrees described above may want to consider one of the following 3-year or 4-year programs that allow you to combine a geology minor (arts or science) with a major in another subject, or to take a 3-year degree in geology.
| Degree | Description |
| B.Sc. (Honours) Major-General program | The Geology Minor (Science) plan is combined with a Major in a Science discipline or Mathematics to form a 4-year Major-General degree program. |
| B.Sc. General program | The Geology Minor (Science) plan by itself, with a suitable number of appropriate electives, allows a student to obtain a 3-year General degree. |
| B.A. (Honours) Major-Minor program | The Geology Minor (Arts) plan is combined with a Major in a Humanities or Social Science discipline to form a 4-year Major-Minor degree program. |
| B.A. Minor program | The Geology Minor (Arts) plan taken by itself, with a suitable number of electives, allows a student to obtain a 3-year Minor degree. |
