Program Details

Earth Science School: University of Calgary Faculty: Faculty of Arts Degree: Bachelor ; Honours Field of Study: Geology/Earth Science, General Description: Earth scientists study the materials that make up the Earth, and the natural and human processes that shape its landscape. You will work across four disciplines of geology, geophysics, geography, and archaeology, developing your understanding of how natural systems affect human culture—and are influenced by it. The multidisciplinary scope of an earth science education may point to employment in the local oil-and-gas sector, but also creates opportunities for work in international development, particularly in natural resources development, and dealing with the associated socio-economic issues. The Faculty of Science offers programs of study leading to either the Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) or the Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) degree.
