Welcome to Geology
|
Welcome! The University of Regina Department of Geology offers two undergraduate programs: the B.Sc. in Geology and B.Sc. in Environmental Geoscience. Both programs are eligible for APEGS (Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of Saskatchewan) membership that is transferable to every other jurisdiction in Canada. We also have M.Sc. and Ph.D. graduate research programs. Our faculty research areas cover "hard rock" and "soft rock" studies, mineral and oil-gas resources, and environmental geoscience. We have an established reputation for training highly "rock-conscious" students, and we are extremely proud of our students' employment record. We hope you enjoy your visit to our website today, and please reach out if you have questions or suggestions for our site! |
