The Earth Sciences (BSc) (Co-op) at Brock University is designed for aspiring geoscientists who are driven to understand the fundamental processes shaping our planet and others. You will explore the critical role geoscientists play in discovering essential resources, mitigating natural hazards like volcanic eruptions and earthquakes, and contributing to the vital field of global climate change research. This comprehensive undergraduate degree provides a robust foundation in geological principles, equipping you with the analytical skills necessary to address complex environmental and resource challenges.
This full-time, on-campus program is structured over five years, integrating foundational science courses with specialized Earth science credits, including fieldwork opportunities like ERSC 0N01 and 2C01. You will progress through increasingly advanced topics, culminating in a significant capstone project such as ERSC 3P99 in your final year. The co-op component offers invaluable practical experience through work placements, allowing you to apply your knowledge in professional settings. You will graduate with a Bachelor of Science and the practical skills and real-world experience sought after by employers in the resource, environmental, and research sectors.
